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.

[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.
