[at Yeprs tuesday tasting]
Pours deep, golden amber with a small, creamy, off-white head. Aroma is softly fruity - pineapple - and yeast. Fine mouthfeel. Flavour has biscuits, quite malty, hides its alcohol very well. A bit too sweet.

Bottle. [Courtesy of thewolf, thanks buddy] Average fizzy white head that mostly diminished. Fair display of lacework. Clear flat looking body with a golden colour. Aroma of yeast, grain, fruit, dusty feel. Over the palate came mild spice and toffee. Medium bodied with an average carbonation. Moderated sweet flavour. Sweet fruity finish.

Golden amber with a nice and lasting head. The flavour is sweet and a bit like candy sugar. The same goes for the flavour where the alcohol also is present. It has notes of fruit, mostly apple. The overall impression is a bit too sweet with too little complexity.

Bottle at home. Orange with a large white ehad, some lacings. Aroma heavy malty (citrus), light bitter. Flavor heavy sweet, light bitter, well balanced. Medium/full body, the alcohol is felt. It has it’s own taste.

yeast and citrus on the nose, amber coloured, head is big and lingers, sweet with lotsa malt , decent hop bitterness and dry finish, decent but not amazing
