Bottle. Hazy amber body with a thin off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of earth and stewed tea. Flavour of tea and cranberry. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Light fizz. Slightly astringent but fine overall.

Bottle @ Højbjerg tasting 27 July. Pours clear tea amber with airy off-white head. Clear aroma of malt, with notes of caramel and touches of yeast. Bitter, hoppy flavour with notes of yeast and malt and touches of caramel. Bitterish and estery aftertaste with malty touches. Okay but nothing illuminating.
