(Bottle 50 cl) Coors calls this a "Premium Ale" on the label, well - it’s really notthing more than a straight bitter. Clear, beautiful, dark amber. Small head. Lightly smoked malt-aroma, high bitterness and some late sweetness. 281204

An amber beer with a beutiful collapsing beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel, earth, berries, and minerals. The flavor is a little weird containing notes of nuts, wood, minerals, and roasted malt on a sweet background. The end is very dry with notes of caramel and minerals. I think it must be the water more than the hops, that gives it the dry end.

(Bottle, bought in Denmark). Deep amber (okay, chestnut) colour, moderate head. Too much CO2 for a bitter. Moderate aroma of toffee/caramel and malts, hints of dried fruits / fruitcake. Flavour is malty with a reasonable bitterness, finish is a bit watery. Easy drinking, nice enough - but nothing special either.

Neutral aroma, maybe a slight flowery hop note. Amber, foamy head, heavily carbonated. Light sweet malt flavors, citrussy hops comes out of hiding after a while. A tad watery - a ok lunch beer I guess.
