7.1/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 6.5
Sampled at Brabants Bierfestival 2026, Oirschot. Clear yellow color, full sized white head. Aroma is nicely fruity, "vlierbloesem" or something? Citrusy anyway, smells like spring, a bit floral. Flavor is similar, and I must say the beer is quite balanced. It's not nearly my favorite style but this beer is quite well brewed I'd say. Worth a try. 8-7,5-7-7-6,5
