750ml bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a small, off-white head and a hazy copper body. Aroma of fruity esters, plastic, yeast and chocolate. Taste is fruity with plastic, alcohol and grain. Lively carbonation and a dry mouthfeel.

Bottle. Light sweet smell of cakes and bread. Also a little bit of wine. The large white creamy head has a long duration. The body is in a nice shining red, reminds me of an lemonade... The taste is in the beginning a little bit sweet, then it gets sour with a long duration. Only light malty, also only some soft spots of hops. The body is light to medium strong, a little bit creamy and dry. Some carbonation. A very nice beer, a well balanced taste.

Trade with Fonefan. It is hazy, dark golden with a huge, creamy and lasting head. The aroma has notes of flower, fruit, yeast, malt and sweetness, it seem aromatic. The flavour has sweetness and notes of fruit, flower, caramel, malt and light spice – again the word aromatic seems to pop up. It is charming, smooth, pleasant and easy to drink.

Bottle, pours a deep carmel with a very nice and tall off white head. Aroma is light and bready. Almost smells like an apple cinnamon muffin. Sweet with a little spice. Taste is quite boring. A very thin mouth starts lightly sweet with a light lemon flavor that ends dry with a faint earthy sour/bitterness. This stuff looked and smelled so good, but it failed to deliver.

Nice medium copper colored body with a thin light khaki head on top. The aroma has some rich raisins along with some milk chocolate. There is also a little bit of earthy herbs like rosemary. The taste has some light cinnamon and thyme notes. There is a refined white sugar sweetness. It has a little bit of the character of flat Sprite. Decent to drink with lively carbonation in the mouth feel.
