Bottle, 75cl, shared by thewolf. It pours a hazy, almost golden body with a small head. Wheaty, fruity, slightly citrusy nose. Some perfume, reminding me of a shower soap. Some citrusy in the perfumed flavor. Spice notes too. Medium body, decent carbonation, feeling a bit papery. A quite refreshing and drinkable beer, but not really my idea of how a beer should be. 091022
