Toffee aroma on the nose is followed by a balanced, light caramel mouth-feel. We have used a contemporary variety of German hops to introduce a rich bitter orange peel character to the back of the palate, that compliments the malt flavours perfectly.

Thanks Hrabren! Amber body, white head, clear. Perfumey slightly oxidized dried fruit aroma. Fruity maltiness in the taste, light oxidation, dried fruit, okay,, orange candy, ends dry and slightly bitterish. Simple, okay, dull.
