50cl bottle from some random offie. Standard stuff. Bitter golden. Organic beers generally leave me cold. Just nothing that gives it any character at all. Adenila (950), Denmark

Nice clear amber look with an ok white head. Strong toffee aroma along with nuts. Fine flavor that brings out a plesant sweet malt blend, some subnotes of tosted bread and a little tar. Ends up in a bitter finish. Very plesant palate, and very drinkable radagast83 (1310), Fairfax, Virginia, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 26, 2007 Bottle. Malts are in the aroma, but it is pretty light. Malt and nutty flavor, and quite bitter. Not necessarily bad, but the back of my throat almost feels raw from the bitterness (I was expecting something a bit more refreshing). cgarvieuk (4196), Edinburgh, Scotland
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Apr 24, 2007 Orange colour, light nose, with lots of fruit in flavour, quite bitter and too bitter for me. kevd193213 (499), Hope Valley, Rhode Island, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 16, 2007 Bottle. Amber pour, thin head. Almonds and malt aroma. Smooth taste with a slight bitter finish. Good session brew, but not very complex. jaymobrown (1360), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 13, 2007 Light copper orange haze color.. Not much of a head. Malty and nutty characteristics. Mild bitter flavor in the finish. A decent all-around beer. I’d love to have this on tap at a local pub. michael-pollack (2707), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA

Medium body. Oily texture. Soft carbonation. Finish is malty but a little bitter.
