High pressure can, big foam party. Big chunks of strong foam sticking to the glass, orange and cloudy beer. Smells a tad like marmelade. Taste is quite bitter up front, with something nutty in the back. Slight notes of bitter citrus. Too carbonated.
Yay, I found another bitter! I'd really like more if this style in Belgium. Pours fairly unclezr, darker shade of blonde. Small white head. Scent is weak, mild malty sweet impression from both malts and aromatic ( yet low intensity) hops. Taste is surprisingly bitter, much more so than the style usually is. Maltyness isn't as fresh as I had hoped, mild caramel, mild honey. Slight signs, yet noticeable, oxidation ( bbd is 1 month from now, bought it 2 weeks prior, from a fridge in a shop, and kept in fridge since) perhaps stored to warm before, perhaps just a fast deteriorating beer? Anyway' the beer itself is OK but not nearly as refined as what I had hoped for. Less malty, more bitter than is styletechnical. Certainly not a bad beer, just not what I had hoped to find.
