0.33l bottle. This is a really cloudy orange almost honey looking one, filled with a ton of floaters swirling in the body and a medium sized to small just off white top that's leaving some small lacings down the sides of the glass. What to say about the aroma? Well, it's not to hoppy. More yeast melony with a fruitiness, light spicy tones and a little bit of herbal banana. Strange and not completely mine thing. It feels light oily in the mouth and it has a below average carbonation level. Have to admit that I don't really fancy the way this tastes either. It's straight from the fridge, but it still tastes like the bottle has been standing open in room temperature for several days. Eastery yeasty flavors, peppery and just old in the taste. It's definitely not a bad bottle, it's just not completely mine kind of beer this. 21.12.2013

Bottle, 33cl. An almost clear one, some microfloaties, and golden in color. An off-white finger thick head sits on top. Candy and earthy hints on the nose. The flavor has overripe fruits, some sweetness and malty hints. Medium body, with a nice carbonation and it’s quite dry. A decent bitterness in the end. Sort of nice, but too boring for my liking. Would be sort of interesting to have the beers from this brewery fresh. 140110

33cl Bottle from the brewery, enjoyed on the beach. Murky amber colour, white head. Aroma of hops, soft sweet caramel and nice floral notes, hint of toast, some sweaty yeast. Flavour is much the same, with a nice floral hoppy finish and some earthy yeast. Light-bodied. Nice and easy drinker.
