Bottled(500ml). –Clear amber coloured, medium white head. Moderate malty and hoppy aroma with notes of caramel and nuts. Nice hop bitterness in the finish. Very smooth.

One of the bottle beers that emered at Tromsø Ølfestival (Aug 16-19, 2006). Clear amber colour with a small off-white foam layer. Sweet malty aroma and still more sweetness in a honey-like flavour. Hops and bitterness in the finish to lessen all the sweetness.

Bottle. Clear amber colour with a fine white head. Fruit aroma with notes of toffee. Nice flavour of caramel and fruit. Good hoppy bitterness. Very fine balanced.

Brown amber ale with light creamy head. Sweet hoppy aroma. Finished with a rich copper metallic malt flavor.

Poured a nice copper/bronze color from the bottle with a skinny white head. Dry texture with soft carbonation. Not as hoppy as I expected.

Bottle. Strawberry and light molasses aroma. Dark amber color with moderate head. Molasses and barley malt flavor - light hint of berries. LIght flavor - strange palate - just seemed like flavors didn’t blend well.

Bottle at Bluebird, Santiago, Chile. Amber ale with a thin off white head. Initial skunkeyness, followed by a sweet caramel aroma with nuttyness. In mouth, a rather oxidized brew, with cardboard notes, and surranated hops, medium bodied. Probably were trying to get rid of the last bottles, payed 2000P.

Light amber with carbonation that goes to the bottom of the glass and slowly rises to form a medium pale yellow head. Aroma of hops and caramel with citrus notes. Malty-citrus flavor, but not enough bitterness in the finish, however more appears as it warms.
