Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Clear pale golden, airy head. Interesting herbal nose. Medium sweet with clean, rounded mouthfeel, Medium bodied with an interesting combination of vanilla and bitter herbs. Fresh, drinkable and intense, although perhaps a bit edgy.

Bottle shared courtesy of zrrbrrt. Poured a medium yellow color with a small sized white head. Lots of suspended floaters. Aromas of floralness, a bar of soap, minty, and bready. Tastes of herbalness, green tea, soap, and floral. To sum this one up; different.

Bottle... Cloudy yellow ale with a trillion micro-floaties and a small, fizzy, white head. Aroma-wise, I had a hard time pulling anything out of the glass, but picked up a sweet, biscuity note. Medium to full-bodied and creamy with gentle carbonation. Well-balanced. Biscuit and pale malt sweetness; faint bitterness. Crisp, pleasantly sweet finish. Very drinkable... a good thing as the bottle is a behemoth.
