300ml bottle, 6,5 % abv, chilled at around 7 %, poured in a tulip glass.
Not much head, poor retention, medium bubble carbonation, seems CO2 infused to me.
Clear medium amber colour.
Head is white, but hard to sea, disappears almost instantly.
Smell, some cassis, blackcurrant, bit of hempy hopiness, bit of not too inviting malts
Taste: at first a kind of grapefruite taste, then saltness, then a dry pilssner like bitterness.
It is not a bad beer.
Mouth feel is a bit unbalanced.
Drinkable, but a bit weird and not the most pleasant beer at this price.

L - golden orange, clear; aggressive white head that dissipates super fast
S & T - nice and biscuity, candy sugar and slightest hint of banana, grassy hops, mild pleasant spritzy bitters in the aftertaste
F - surprisingly velvety on the mouth, nice and spritzy in the aftertaste
O - not overly-fond of this beer, as I'm not too much into the sweeter beers or the banana aroma, but I like the biscuity pilsener quality that's left, right and center on this one. I could see this being a hit with people who like exactly those qualities.
I'd recommend it if you like your sweeter beers, or if you're a fan of that Brand-typical biscuity pilsener quality.

33cl bottle. Clear amber pour with a thin white head that disappears completely after about a minute. Smells of alcohol and sugars from the malt. Sweet and metallic taste, kind of flat and hard to drink.

Only comments: I prefer IPA so this is out of my comfort zone. Lentebock is drinkable with a light hoppyness. Worked well with tuna steak.

A light orange colour with a thin layer of foam that quickly disappears. Bubbles on the inside surface of the glass. Delicate smell of grass, peach, clove and yeast. This flavours, accompanied by malt, continue in the taste. The hops make their appearance in the finish: a nice sour bitter fruity aftertaste. Refreshing and smooth mouth feel. A nice beer with a good variety of flavours.

Available only in spring, despite the tag that it is year available year-round. Almost no head when poured into a glass, and no lacings. Almost no smell that I can detect so I rated that a 3 (not good, not bad). Nice flavor with malt and hops, but a bit thinner that the Brand DubbelBock. Not a bad brew at all, but not one I would go to great lengths to find.
