Bottled, at Belgobaren, Stockholm. Hazy amber, small head. Fruity nose with some hay. Mid sweet with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Caramel and ripe fruit. Low bitterness. Not particularly impressive.

Bottle. Pours unclear amber. Small to no white head. Smell is rotting leaves, metallic. Taste is rather bitter, vegetable, earthy, metallic. not too much good aspects, honestly. wattery mouthfeel, high carbo. Usually, my very low ratings really have somethign off, of a weird ingrediënt I just can’t stand, but here, there’s just the selection of tastes I don’t like, but are not unseen in beer. it might be brewed withoud flaws or bad ideas, but I just really don’t enjoy it.

Bottle shared. Pours murky orange brown with a small tan head. Aroma of malt, yeast, toffee, light floral notes from the hibiscus and a touch of spice. Flavour is moderate sweet and light bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

33cl bottle courtesy of and shared with Kermis. Almost a gusher. Thin white head. Murky amber pour. A bit thin. Ok.

The amber beer in this series, with very thick, frothy, stable, pale yellowish beige, cobweb-lacing head and hazy, vaguely brownish-tinged pure amber colour (rather than the deep copper or ruby red I was expecting based on the name). Aroma initially disperses a strong ‘iron shavings’ odour, probably coming from head stabilizing agents, but after this retreats a bit, impressions of bread crust, beetroot juice, red apple, raw red cabbage, dried flowers, soap, sweet potato mash, strawberry, banana, orange peel and cloves show up. Fruity onset, banana, apple and strawberry notes, sweet with a hint of red candy even but nothing cloying, sourish undercurrent, fizzy carb, lean and bit soapy mouthfeel. Caramel candy- and light peanut-like malt body, rounded and cereally, simple with ongoing sweetness which becomes a bit artificial and plastic-like in the end but again, refrains from turning unpleasantly cloying; light spicy phenols and earthy and floral hop bitterish notes are added in the finish but the caramelly maltiness lingers way beyond that. Quite straightforward Belgian amber ale, simple, old-fashioned and accessible. Nothing really wrong here apart from that strong iron odour in the beginning. Note: also had this as Fort Lapin 6 Hibiscus, its forerunner which got its colour from hibiscus flowers and suffered from quite strong DMS so at least in that sense, this is an improvement of the old recipe to me.

Bottled@HBF2014. Hazy orange colour with a mediumsized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity, spicy, some mild yeastiness along with some sugary notes. Flavour is yeasty, spicy and fruity with some sweet maltiness kicking it up. Actually there’s also some kind of bitter elements in the finish.
