Thanks to my Secret Santa (aknud) for the bottle. Mostly clear burnt orange color with a medium head. Taste sweet with honey and toffee and also some raisins. A little butterscotch also. Medium/lite body. A little bitterness in the finish.

Bottle: When your looking for something light and refreshing give this a try. Think APA light. Pours amber with small head and few lacings. When you don’t need a bitter blast this would be a good choice. Good malt and hop balance with slightly bitter finish. More satifying than a lager normally would be. Recommended.

Bottle from the MITRA shops. Pours with a good lasting head in a clear amber colour. Light hoppy smell gave expectations of a clean well balanced beer in which during tasting I was not disappointed. A little roast between the hops with medium bitter flavour and a somewhat lasting aftertaste.

Bottle. Pours a brilliant redish amber color. Pours a bit flat with no head retention. Aroma of sweet malts and light pine note. Taste is sweet but thin with a cloying aftertaste. This must be the runt of the litter.

Crystal amber body, with fleeting white head. Aromas of caramel, toasted grain, hint of grassy hop. Smooth and slightly sweet. I taste strong caramel in the finish.
