Clear golden with fluffy white head. Light biscuits and grains, dried apricot, very soft taste and feel with velvety orange notes and light herbs. Subtle fruity hops go into a light long lasting bitter finish. Light to medium bodied. Very nice Pilsner actually, better than most of the more experimental Perles. - Clear Amber with medium white head. Lots of aromatic hops, grapefruit, lime, bitter herbs, biscuits, vanilla cookies, tropical fruit candies, cinnamon. Quite sweet going fast into a medium strong bitter finish. Medium bodied.
- Slightly hazy crisp copper coloured body with a nice bronze glow and a very thin oily tan head. Aroma of yeast, wheat, coriander seed and a touch of curacao and light sweetness. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong yeastie notes up front with hints of alcohol and bitter malt with a touch of spices and herbs, including mint.
- Unfiltered and golden blonde in hue, it has a dense white foam. The hops display an intense expression and the fragrance is a blend of fruits, woods, spices, and floral notes.
- Head is initially large, frothy, off-white, mostly lasting. Body is hazy light amber, bottle conditioned. Aroma is moderately malty (caramel, cookie), lightly yeasty (cobwebs), with notes of honey, Juicy Fruit gum, dried mango, banana, alcohol. Flavor is heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Full body, velvety/creamy texture, soft carbonation, moderately alcoholic. Really nice aroma that reminds me quite a bit of Stille Nacht...very fruity and candyish with lots of layers.
