Pour is a amber with a large white head. Aroma is candi sugar with some dark fruit and figs. Flavor is earthy malts with some spice and sugar. Not a mind blowing beer here but something that is tasty and enjoyable.

Bottled at Monks Café, Stockholm. Pours out in a slightly hazy copper colour with a creamy lasting off-white foam. Mild and quite neutral aroma of yeast, hay and metal. Medium-bodied with subdued notes of hay, metal and rose hip. Lively carbonation. Long metallic finish of hay, red berries and blood. Subtle character of really sharp metallic edges. I’m not a huge fan.

Pours amber with a thin wispy off-white head. Aroma is light esters, grassy, dusty, caramel and light spices. Taste is dusty, earthy malt, pear, caramel and pale malt. Medium bodied with soft/lush carbonation and a light soapiness. This was not bad, but rather bland.

12 oz bottle from Crown Liquors. Light amber in color with a small off white head. Aroma: skunky, vegetal and sour yeast. Taste is sharp malts- metallic, with some vegetal hops and overall unpleasant. ugh. I was expecting alot more after having their aged pale. This may have been way past it’s prime.

0.33l - Dark gold liquid, nice light tan head, no real nose. Tasted vaguely like ginger ale but little flavor. Pass.

Hazy, light amber with a large, frothy off-white head. Decent head retention with a good amount of lace. Bready, doughy nose with lots of vienna-like malt, hints of pear, grapes and honey. The flavor is very lightly sweet, just lightly bitter with floral and herbal hops, light caramel, dough and golden raisins. Medium/light body is round with moderate carbonation. Very quaffable. Could pass as a Belgian style octoberfest. Not a world beater, but I can’t figure out these super low scores for the life of me.

bottle labeled petrus special ale with a green label poured a rich amber color with a thick layer of white froth that became a thin layer that stayed. aroma is milder, malt caramel sweetness, cinnamon, nutmeg, and apple. hits the tongue with a light feel, apple is stronger here, sweet malt, and finishes with carbination and some yeast. cant believe this is rated so low (2.88 now) it is a little thin and not as full of flavor as the others i have tried by them but respectable none the less.
