Bottle at De Drie Dorstige Herten, Utrecht. Aroma of hay, grainy malt, caramel, fruity notes, hint of hops. Flavour is moderate sweet with a moderate bitter finish. Body is medium. Nothing special, but a pretty decent pleasant Keller.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Plus Culemborg. Hazy golden with a big white head. Fruity aroma with some hops. Taste is rather sweet with a semi-bitter finish. Too fruity and not clean enough for a Kölsch but pleasant enough otherwise.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ van Rooij, Culemborg. Clear amber with a big white head. Caramel aroma with some rooibos tea. Bittersweet taste with a nice dry finish. Overly carbonated which takes a bit of the aroma away but otherwise a very pleasurable ale.

33 cl. bottle shared with Marinka @ Rick. Murky yellow with a thin white head. Citrus aroma with some malts. Sweet taste with a bitter hop finish. First sip is great: fresh hoppy taste and a nice finish; but after that it kind off goes downhill. Maltyness is growing bigger, overpowering the cascade hops. Finish becomes too bitter and a bit oxidated. Shame really as the beginning was promising.
