0.5 l can. Pours copper with thick, quickly disappearing head. Nose is faint malty, nothing noteable. Taste is sweetish, biscuity malts with a moderate hoppy touch. Bitter finish, light body and average carbo. Decent bitter.

clear amber colour, medium sized, dense, though not too stable beige-ish off-white head; aroma of toffee, biscuits, toasted and floral notes, hints of nuts and apple; taste of toasted rye bread, toffee, slight floral honey and quite intensive hoppy bitterness; correct bitter for correct price (around 1EUR/0.5L); I would definitely buy it again

Canned. Thanks Marduk. Poured golden color with a thick white head. Apples, pears in aroma, some hay and dusty notes. Sweet, green apples, floral notes. Kinda like the apple notes but overall not a tasty beer.

(Can, 0.5 l, at pre HBF2017 Saturday tasting, thanks Marduk) The beer poured deep amber and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had caramel and toffee. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, earth, toffee, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet and bitter. A poor brew but a county tick.

4.7% ABV. Il gusto al naso finisce dritto sul luppolo. L’intensità olfattiva è elevata e la persistenza olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il cappello è di schiuma compatta, dalla buona tenuta e persistente, con bollicine medie. La consistenza del liquido è limpida. Le bollicine sono fini, a carbonazione media, persistente ed insistita. Il colore è ambrato carico. Il corpo è strutturato. L’amaro è deciso. L’intensità gustativa è elevata e la persistenza gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono luppolate. Il finale è setoso, lungo, secco e pulito. Il retrogusto è intenso. Il palato riporta sentori di miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, resina, fiori e agrumi.

Clear amber, white head. Light malty aroma with notes og hops. Bitter with light fruity notes, rough and dry, alchohol seems unbalanced. Slightly watery yet bitter finish.
