50cl bottle from Abeervinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours slightly reddish gold, clear transparent, with pretty fine white foam. Aroma is malty and earthy, some caramel. Body and carbonation are average, but actually with quite a mouthful. Taste is medium-high bitter, continuing also in the final.

Bottle from the Orkney Brewery. Pours a clear golden/amber colour with a thinnish off-white head. Aromas of toffee, caramel, citrus fruits, apricots, apples and hints of floral. Taste has the same notes again as the aroma. Very gentle carbonation with a smooth soft mouthfeel. Fairly light bodied. Very slightly hoppy finish. Nice elegant beer.
