Bottled at the The Rover, Gothenburg. Clear, golden ale with a small white head. It has a sweet, hoppy, malty and piney aroma with notes of tropical fruits and honey. Fruity and hoppy flavor with some notes of beef-stock. Medium body and a bitter finish. The aroma and flavor is surprisingly different in this one. (060824)

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a slightly hazy, honey golden with a small, white head. Lightly sweet, malty nose. Medium body with a distinct sweetness pretty much balanced by dry - but not overly bitter - hops. Neither very fresh nor exciting. 300806
