Bottled. A hazy orange beer with a huge bubbly orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and hints of dusty hops. The flavor is sweet with a boring malt profile as well as light fruity notes, before a dry metallic end sets in.

(Bottle 50 cl) Bottle conditioned. Pours a clear, pale amber with a small, creamy, off-white head. Fresh, citrusy nose. Medium-bodied with accents of nuts and citrus with a fairly hoppy finish. Very clean and lovely. 240706

Bottle. Clear amber coloured with an off white head. Aroma of spices, rotten fruits and horse blanket. Flavour of rotten fruits, fruits and spices.

Tawny brown; smoke, cherry, wood in the nose; earthy, brown sugary, complexly malt body, drying slightly in the finish.

Beautiful red brown body, little head. The aroma and flavor are nicely balanced between the sweet malts and bitter hops --nothing overpowering. The body is nice.

My glass is filled by a beautiful, copper-red beer with a huge and lasting head. The aroma has notes of fruit/hops and caramel. The flavour is nice, dry and citrussy, and the aroma hops gives a lot of fruit and the malt gives caramel. It’s a nice ale...
