Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A gusher, producing a big foamy head soon reduced into a finger-thick layer of dense, white bubbles. The aroma has a fruity hoppyness as well as a distinct rubbery touch. Super effervescent on the palate, medium to thin. Rubbery flavor with fruits and pale malts. Sure a beer gone bad, but as it wasn’t past BB-date, I have no other choice but to axe it. 110318

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. It’s a clear, golden beer with a small, white head. It’s quite citrusy on the nose, pale malts in the back. Biscuits and a caramel touch. A bit thin on the palate, with pleasant carbonation. Bitterness, lemon and biscuity malts in the flavor. A rather boring one, but it drinks easily and doesn’t taste bad at all. 110318

Cloudy light brown. The aroma is dull, maybe a bit malty. Nutty, but a bit phenolic. Not a good one, really, and the second time with phenol issues from this brewery.
