Hazy deep amber with medium beige head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, caramel and spices. Flavor likewise with hops and a bitter finish.

The color is beautiful copper red-brown and the head is small. The aroma has notes of fruity hops, caramel and malt. The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of caramel, malt, fruit and citrus. It’s pleasant as such, but I would have liked the hops to be more crisp, just like the aroma implies.

Dark amber with a nice head. The aroma has notes of caramel and the flavour is sweetish with notes of roasted malt, caramel and a citrussy bitterness. IMO it’s not in balance, and not as nice as the others I tasted from this brewery.

Bottled. An undlear amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of citrus and caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of citrus, leading to a dry bitter finish.

A hazy amber beer with a huge fluffy orange head, due to very high carbonation. The aroma is brewmashy combined with notes of caramel - like a lot of upstart microbrews. The flavor is sweet grainy and caramelic combined with notes of brewmash, but on an unpleasant back ground of burnt plastic - clearly a brewing mistake, leading to a smooth caramel end, but still with the burnt plastic lingering and turning slightly acidic in the very end. The flavor makes this an unnessecary beer on the Danish market - atleast if this is the best they can do quality-wise.

Bottle. Low and quickly disappearing white head. Hazy amber body. Spicy fruity aroma with notes of pepper. Fruity flavor with herbal notes. Low carbonation. Long herbal aftertaste.
