Bottle shared in London - thanks! Pours clear yellow with a creamy white head. Sugary cereal aroma, a little fart. Big sweet flavor, some corn, honey. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sugary finish, cloying, syrupy, some white bread, no hops. Meh.

RBHD-samling på Fridtjofen april-15: takk til Henning F for flasken! Lett uklar gylden med kort skum. Lukter vørter og smaken har en honningpreget sødme. Lav bitterhet. Kort, sødmefylt ettersmak.

Shared 250 ml bottle at local tasting, thanks to Henning. Deep golden to orange colour, white head. Sweetish aroma, hints of apples, apple blossoms and honey, some dust too. Flavour of sweet wort, not very good.

Shared bottle at RB/HD on board Fridtjofen 14.04.15. Dark golden. Diminishing white head. Aroma of roasted sugar coated nut, wort and honey. Similar, and honey sweet, taste and aftertaste. A hint of bittersweet marzipan in aftertaste.

Bottle at Atlantis Hotel, Barbados, 20th August 14. First sip is a shock, so sweet, almost like a lemonade shandy, I think there is honey, it fades and then you are left with a sickly malt liquor, not very good really
