(on botte) I´ve become a vey big fan of this brewry, but this brew in perticular is too sweet for me. Allmost a passoinfruit, apple aroma and the wateryness of an ale, makes it a sodapoppy fealing to drink. low-bitter ending, just not right for me.

Pale yellow beer with a fine head. Sweet malt and toffee aroma with some spices - a little stuffy. Surprisingly flavorfull considering the low ABV. Pilsner malt, hops and a slight sourness. Thin finish.
