Bottle@Home. Tangerine aroma with a hint of iodine. Light hazy, orange colored, beige head, good lace. Light sweet start but very sweet finish, iodine, tangerine, nutmeg, vanilla, dough and laurel, sticky mouthfeel. Maybe I was expecting too much but what I got in the glass was rather disappointing. Too sweet, too few hops and a complexity of flavors that’s not in balance.

50 cL bottle. Pours hazy brown with a chalk white head. Light hoppy aroma with a vague spice note. Flavour is quite spiced and with a hops note swept through the palate. Mild liqourice note mixed with dense caramel malt flavour and a spiced bitterness. Light liqourice into the far finish.

Bottle. Large creamy beige head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Light cloudy amber color. Aroma of fruit, bread, citrus, apricot, grain, alcohol and mild spice. Some underlying caramel notes as well. Medium to full bodied with a soft carbonation and mild alcoholic texture. Moderated sweet and bitter flavor in balance. Dry bitter spicy finish. Quit nice.
