Bottle, thx to fonefan. An amber, clear beer with an off-white head. Biscuity malty aroma with a pleasant fruityness. Nice, but very gentle. Malty sweetness, in the flavor, quite biscuity, with fruityness and a decent bitterness. Biscuity, roasted finish. Medium body. A quite pleasant malty beer, but a bit too gentle. (080822)
