Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a light sediment floating around under a lazing light tan head. The aroma is sweet and acidic with notes of malt and citrus. The flavor is sweet malty combined with citrusy notes, leading to a dry bitter finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottled, thanks hopsrus! Nut brown with lively rich head. Vinous nose full of hoppy grapefruit and nutmeg. Sweet, full bodied and clean. Warming and tea-like with notes of orange. Some salty, spicy bitterness.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy orange with a fully diminished white head. Light brettish citric and orange fruity aroma. Flavour is light orange fruity and starts sweet but soon reveals a light dry woody note into the finish.

Hazy dark amber colour. Very aromatic - big malts, orange, coriander, ginger (in retrospect, oops!). Overcarbonated. Very sweet - spicy, fruity with lots of orange ans slight sugary notes. This is a fun beer, very savoury, but the carbonation is a major problem. Overcarbonation is like a staticy radio station - you know the song is good but the reception is lousy and that definitely takes away from the experience.
