500 ml bottle. Golden yellow colour, creamy white head. Sweetish malty aroma with notes of citrus fruits and honey, and plenty of hops. The flavour is caramel-malty, fruity, with a dry hoppy finish. A refreshing bitter.

Vildvuxen beska i ett organiskt överdrag. Upplevelsen är naturnära, intensiv. Tyvärr är smaken något tunn och undandragande. Den viktiga balansen kommer till korta. Annars helt klart gemytlig.

500 ml bottle, 4.5% abv. Crystal clear deep golden to pale amber colored. Stable two-finger dense white head. A nice ashy, almost tobacco-ish malt aroma up front, followed by a scent of fruit and some earthy hops. Fairly dry malt flavor, light peppery with medium bitterness and a faint fruitiness. Good body strengt for a 4.5% beer. FIne bitterness in the ending. A very likeble Bitter.

Bottle. Deep golden colour with a white head. Aroma: hops (almost like sticking your nose in a bag of english hops), grass, citrus, toffee, nuts and pine/wood. Taste: hops, grass, caramel/toffee, bread, nuts, light fruitiness, earth, lightly metallic. Typical Shepherd Neame beer, but I like the fact that you can really feel the hops in both aroma and flavor. One of the better Shepherd Neame beers that I have tried.
