Pours a beautifully clear pale gold with a frothy white head, and an aroma of malt biscuits and a hint of hops. The mouthfeel is slightly grainy, offering up a biscuit malt flavour with fruity notes and a decent hop bite that continues into the finish

The bitterness is a little rustic and barnyard-like. Not the most pleasant aroma. Decent, not one to keep coming back to. D&S Dresden

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
