Bottled. A hazy amber coloured beer with a rocky white head. The aroma at first has jammy fruits, but then piney and spicy hops kick in. More hops and berry fruits in the taste. An interesting mix of hop flavours. A nice skillful beer.

bottle from nelsons. rich amber colour, off-white big bubbled head, which stood the test of time.very interesting and complex nose, fruity, earthy and somewhat homely with a bit of honey. Most delicate herbal flavours, highly unusual and bloody good. quite a bit of nettle and all sorts of strange herb flavours. it’s quite taken me by surprise. excellent and quirky little pint!

Bottle. Brown beer with a strong head. The aroma is fruity and malty and the flavour is smooth, quite bitter with a dry, toffee, and herbal finish. Overall a nice sweet, dry, and herbal beer.
