Nice amber colour, no head to speak of. A good malt dominated beer, although there is some citrus fruit bitterness which creeps onto the palate and stays well into the finish. Couldn’t drink too many of them but still a good beer. Morrisons.

Århus2008. 50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden amber with a lacing white head. Mild grainy aroma, somewhat unrefined yet still inviting. Flavour is mild fruity vwith a little hops bite. Dry caramel malt base with a light spice note showing through. Ends dry and mild spiced.
