Bottle (75 cl), thanks to marsiblursi. Deep amber with medium off-white head. Spicy, syrupy and yeasty, way too sweet, heavily overrated.

(Bottle) Pours copper amber. The aroma is sugary, hone-ish, sweet bready, marzipan and light caramelly malt with fruity notes of oranges, sweet lemon, banana, spicy tones of coriander and light hoppy tones of flowers and grass. The flavour is of sugar, malt, light yeast, fruits, floral hops and some marzipan. Medium to heavy sweet, light bitter with some syrupy fruits. Fat bready maltiness. The mouthfeel is sugary/syrupy. Aftertaste is of sugar and sweet canned fruit. Medium to full bodied.

Bottled. Pours out in a clear pale orangey bronze colour with a fluffy lasting white head. Rather sweet aroma of oranges, white bread, spices and cloves with touches of leaves. Full malty sweet flavour of oranges, nectarines, herbs, white bread and mild spices. Full-bodied with a gentle carbonation. Long fruity finish of over-riped oranges, , white pepper, herbs, white bread and mild mouth-drying alcohol.

Pours reddish golden with an abundant coarse off-white foam. In the nose it comes across like sweet bread, butter-scotch, with a mild spicy undertone of pepper and coriander. In the mouth, it kicks-off with a big malty and spicy breadiness, echoing many of aromas, but with a much higher intensity. A high carbonation, amplifies some of the underlying details in the aroma. Citrus and spicy elements carried on a big wave of sweet maltiness, leaving a wash of prickly carbonation, vibrant warming, and lingering spices.

Bottle. Pours a nice pale orange colour. The aroma is sweet, bit spiced, fruity and malty. Good mouthfeel. The flavour is spiced with a good maltiness, pleasant bitterness, caramel and some fruitiness. Sweet spiced malty bitter finish. Thanks for the share yespr.

75 cL bottle. Pours slight hazy orange with a lacing white head. Mild spiced and slight caramel note in the aroma. Sweet malty and light caramel flavoured. Finish is mild spiced flavour with a nice sweet malt tone. Slight brett-ish note. Lovely balanced/smooth yet tasteful brew.
