Bottle at Mr Hangover’s Nieuwjaarsborrel, Den Haag. Poured a clear light amber with little life. The aroma is all malt with a little yeast. The flavour is light bitter with a woody malt palate. Light bodied. Very average.

Deep amber colour. Frothy head leaving a thin film on beer. Aroma of caramel, toffee, a bit vineous. Medium body. The taste is sweetish and softly bitter with notes of caramel, dark chocolate, minimal alcohol. Well balanced. Hoppy finish. It’s deffinitely a quality drink for a mass production.
