Bottled. Pours a dull copper w/medium head. Aroma is malt, hops and a bit of caramel. As is taste. Pretty decent.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso viene attratto dal caramello. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma dalla buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il piano sottostante offre una visione offuscata. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata e permane in maniera sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di caramello, miele, amaretto, frutta secca, un accenno di resinoso e agrumi.

Аромат сразу горький, Английский, много горячи от классического хмеля, даже в запахе, немного карамельки, солод обычный. Цвет бледно коричневый, пенка средняя. На вкус классический битер, много горячи, травянистость, немного намека на карамель, но самую малость. В целом не лучший в стиле, слишком много травянистости.
