Bottle at Riksettan. Clear deep amber body, off-white head. Creamy, bit buttery and caramelly aroma. Lean taste, fruity, peachy, caramelly. Ends bitterish and dry, a bit astringent. Hm.

330ml bottle from the Savanna online. Orangey amber gold colour, off-white foam head leaving lacing and aroma of malt, pine, mellow citrus, hop resin. Taste is sweetish, malt caramel, coconut hint, fruity, woody pine, citrusy grapefruit, with resiny hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry earthy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

[340ml bottle from the South African shop at Victoria Station.] A bright golden amber pour with a billowing cream coloured head; aroma of burnt toffee and orange peel; slightly oily, thick and malty in the mouth with a taste of bitter cinder toffee and some mandarin (according to the label it's made exclusively with Mandarina Bavaria which is a favourite of mine). A satisfying mellow beer, reminding me more of an English ESB than an IPA, and much, much better than the brewery's Cape Point Pale Ale.
