1/II/25 - 50cl bottle @ Nieuwjaarsreceptie Gentse Biervereniging (Ledeberg), BB: n/a (2025-69) Thanks to Mark for sharing the bottle!

Clear light blond beer, small yellowish head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: malty start, grains, hay, cow fodder. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: malty, grains, hay, cow fodder, watery, a little bitter. Aftertaste: hoppy, dry, very watery, a bit malty in the finish. Meh. Very unimpressive.

Аромат хороший, приятный, солодовый, есть намеки на сладость. Цвет карамельный, более янтарный, пенка небольшая. Вкус питкий как и должен быть. Снова преобладает солод. Легкая карамельная среда с намеком на леденец. При глотке есть хорошая сначала сухость а затем хмелевая горечь, но очень лайтовая. Очень хороший питкий вариант кому заходит Англия.

Аромат классического битера. Немного карамельки на оттенке, много травянистости от континентального хмеля. Цвет красно-коричневый, пенка очень мыльная и крупнопузырчатая. Вкус хоть и питкий но плотненький. Снова травянистость которая уже в горчинку длительную переходит. Оттенки карамельки легкой, в целом не плохо для стиля который я не люблю.
