Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is honey, wood, some hints of nectar and sap. Flavour is quite much the same, with focus on nectarand honey. Refreshing and good session beer.

I have been sittin' on this brew for a while and decided to crack it today. The aroma is pleasant with some sweetness but not as much as you would expect considering the style with maybe some bready or malty overtones coming through to some extent. The appearance is decent and is a light orange to a bit rustic amber with a nice head on top that is fluffy and very carbonated as well as fuzzy and remains on top throughout consumption with subpar lacing left on the glass. The mouthfeel is very light-bodied with some decent complexity but not nearly as much as I expected with decent balance with a palate that is light but a bit wet-like and very carbonated but is lacking to some extent. The flavor is somewhat sweet with maybe some maltiness coming through with perhaps some light fruity overtones with an aftertaste that is a bit dry and airy with some bitter to some extent but is very thin with a finish that is decent at best but is somewhat crisp but very watery with not enough on the back end at all. Overall, I am confused by this brew because it has no real characteristics of a Lambic/Fruit style and is very thin and very watery and pretty much downright boring, what happened to this brew...it kinda was there and then was gone and left no memorable characteristics whatsoever; maybe I stored this brew too long?? Bottomline, this brew went downhill hardcore beginning right when I opened it; very bland and boring brew here. I am left perplexed here for sure???
