Poured from bottle into tulip 1+ finger light cream colored head, so so retention, good lacing. Bright golden clear in the glass, slight chill haze. Smells of slight fruitiness on first sniff, then more towards floral. Taste is sweet malt, followed by floral, hay and some underlying fruitiness, almost like an yeast ester. Finish is crisp on the bitterness and a small spiciness at the end which makes for a good finish.

Tasty beer, but this one is like the child of a Belgian triple and a Lager. Definitely strong Belgian yeast character. Not true to style IMO. Enjoyable overall, so positive there.

From the bottle from the 2020 Aldi Beer Advent Calendar, it pours a clear yellow color with a large white head that slowly diminishes. In the nose, it is fresh and floral. In the mouth, it is light in flavor, with light malt coming through.

330 ml bottle with a BB date stamp on the label of 29 September 2021.
This was served in a lager glass where a golden body that has excellent clarity came topped by a well sized white head that has very good retention.
The aroma has a particularly floral cast. The floral notes appear in the flavor too along with some subtle spiciness. The flavor is mild and well balanced.
Feel. Light body with medium-light carbonation.
Overall. Clean and refreshing with enough quality flavor to raise it above the average Euro lager.
