Aroma is sweet caramel, malty and some floral hints. Taste is sweet malty, hoppy and bitter, a little alcoholic towards the end. Carbonation is quite high. Aftertaste is malty and bitter.
Too sweet for my taste, although it seems that they’ve tried to balance it with bitterness. pivnizub (5100), Bochum, Porúří, Germany
