Amsterdam 12/12 2015. 33 cl bottle from Marqt (a very biodynamic supermarket). The characteristic ostrich with an egg on the label.

Pours hazy yellow with a big white head. Stable. Settles as a creamy crown of foam obscuring the surface of the beer. Massive lacing.

Aroma of yeast, fermentation and a little citrus. Musty cellar and alcohol. Lemon.

Fizzy carbonation and watery palate. Lively texture,

Flavor is a bit thin. Sweet fruitiness, peach and passion fruit. Not much bitterness and kind of diluted.

Looks and smells good - but not much to the taste.

Wow, very interesting. Much more like a flavorful American lager than I was expecting; I would not have guessed its Belgian provenance just on taste. Very very drinkable, it's what I think people mean when they describe Coors/Miller/Budweiser as "drinkable". Tastes like toasted corn. Yum.
