initial pour - 20% beer 80% head ... 6 minutes to settle down ... hoppy but not bitter .... nice flavor with a light hop bitterness in the finish ... caramel, malts and yeast ... bitter after taste ... yeast is out front with the hops ... complex but different ... filtered and fresh may work better for me with this one

Bottled. Hazy amber with yeast particles. Rubber and solvent. I guess it was too spicy for me...

Bottle sampled at the brewery. Cloudy golden pour with a medium offwhite head. Very interesting aroma of spices, hops and yeast. Very good and well balanced flavor of hops, yeast and spices. The body is medium to full with a creamy texture and gentle carbonation. Yummy!

33 cl. Thanks to Mikkel(ler). Unclear amber colour with a huge floffy head. Aroma of parfume and little hops. Flavour of hops, parfume, caramel and alcohol. Not as bitter as I may thought.

Wow this one is bitter! There’s a nice bright hoppy aroma at first. Very flowery. There’s an odd sweetness at the start and an alcohol burn at the finish. In between all that is a rather intense earthy bitterness and a yeasty breadiness. Weird and not bad.

Hazy golden with thick creamy, almost meringue head. Strong fruity hop, some malty sweet aroma. Pretty bitter, quite alcoholic and slightly sweet. Almost watery and almost cloying.

Bottle (33 cl) at a Göteborg RB tasting. Clear amber, large off-white head. Malty with light notes of burnt rubber. Medium bodied and smooth, nicely balanced.

Pours a hazy orange color with a white head. Aroma is caramel and a spicy grassy herbal hops. Flavor is caramel, sugary, and a bitter grassy herbal finish
