Bottled. An unclear dark golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of sweet malt, peaches, wheat, and alcohol. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of fruit - peaches, spices, and wheat, leading to a dry wheaty and alcoholic finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of TheCheeseMan. Clear, deep golden with a small off-white head. Tart fruity nose. Medium body, tart citrusy notes and some overripe fruit. Tart finish with no real bitterness. Weird, but in an interesting way. 130909
