Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a lazing off-white hear. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, while the flavor is sweet malty with notes of both fruit and caramel. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Skyview. Hazy, amber golden with a yellowish head. Fat, caramellish aroma with some aroma hops. Rather full-bodied with sweetish caramel and fruit - some overripe fruit even. Also has some burned caramel. Rather bitter finish. Neat. 040408

12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy orange with a fully diminished white head. Woody and dry fruity aroma. Sweet flavour with a light fruity and woody note into the finish. Somewhat flat in flavour and almost towards oxidised.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium and hazy orange color wtih an average sized off white head. Aromas of melon rinds, fruity, grains, caramel, and spicy. Tastes of caramel, sweet malts, fruity, and citrus. Light alcohol in the finish.

Pours a transparent bright copper bronze with a well-lacing frothy off-white head. Has a sweet caramely malty aroma with some toffee and grainy notes. Body starts fairly full and well carbonated with sweet viscous caramel flavor, some earthy English bittering hops and a touch of a German lager yeasty profile toward a bittersweet finish. Somewhat similar to Fullers Vintage Ale, but not quite as balanced. Still, a pretty decent brew.
