5.6/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
(bottle) Clear, reddish amber colour with a short frothy, slightly off-white head. Moderately sweet toasted malty, nutty and slightly woody aroma with herbal hops. Sweetbitter flavoured, toasted malty and nutty taste, crispy carbonation; dry and light bitter finish with a touch of metal. All in all not bad.

(Bottle 33 cl) A fine example to prove the fact, that an ale doesn’t really have to be very potent to be extremely tasty. Dark amber close to brown, filtered, not much head. Nutty, malty notes. dry at first but some sweetness occurs on the palate. High on carbonation. Very pleasant ale. 011203

The aroma is sweet with strong grassy and hoppy notes and underlying notes of yeast. The color is red-brown and is has a very small and fast disappearing head. The flavor is plain sweet with notes of grains, malt, caramel, and yeast. It finishes on a grassy hoppy note - without much bitterness. The body is thin - probably because of the 4% ABV. An easy drinkable beer - but nothing special - I think this would be a great beer to quench your thirst after hard physical labor - because it has much more taste than an international lager and is still extremely fresh.

Amber-brown. Caramelly, slightly toasty aroma. Light caramel character, with touch of bitterness. Maybe a little earthy.
