Pours clear , light ‘tigerorange’ ( SRM around 12 ) Not a very stable white head, reduced to a ring within seconds. Smell is malty, mild fruityness. bit floral undertone. not too much yeastyness. bit bready. Taste is full, malty ( caramel, bread ) mild oxidized at first sippings. Bit creamy. Some fruityness from the malts. very mild bitter features. not too intense in taste, but I suppose this one does have a rather low ABV as well. Decent carbo and maltyness. not to much esthers nor phenols. Mild creamyness.

0.33 l bottle from ’CraftBeer-Dealer.com’, best before July 2017. Clear, dark reddish amber with a thin, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity aroma of caramel, nuts and some dark fruits. Slightly sweetish, a bit malty and slightly fruity taste of caramel, wild honey, strawberry jam, some licorice and a touch of dark fruits, followed by a short, slightly bitter, a bit spicy finish. Thin to medium body, minimally effervescent mouthfeel, very soft carbonation. Okay!
