Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear amber with a creamy and lacing off-white head. Very sharp, herbal aroma - unpleasantly so. Medium body, rich in crystal malts and then this rush of sharp, rough and very bitter Galena hops that offer nothing really of interest. Move on. 100815

Bottle sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks zvsn. Hazy golden. Stale hops aroma. Sweetish malty flavor with caramel, stale hops and a bitter finish. Medium-bodied.

At a tasting, smallish head, cloudy deepish orange color, aroma of hay and orange marmalade, flavor of orange and strawberry marmalade, , quite strong herbal bitterness. Stale and too old.

Light brown color with a minimal and quickly diminishing white head, nice lacework. Aroma has notes of light resins and some caramelish notes. Flavor is caramelish, with good maltiness, resins are present as well. Bittery final with good duration.
