Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Can, i believe from Foeders, drunk after assembling some Hagebau wooden storage shelves. I do not recommend this Baumarkt for shelves! Just go to IKEA, you'll save time for drinking beer and get better shelves. Yellowish amber with nice fine bubbled head, huge pineapple mango and passion fruit nose. Pretty sweet with minimal bitterness (i can hardly believe the 65 started on label), i did catch the lactose unfortunately so it's definitely got too much of that. Very full tropi-frutti flavor. Overall pretty good, but the lactose kind of dims it for me.
