It has a deep amber color and it creates a high enriched crown, whereas its intense scent of hops, citron and pine are evident when it is served. Rich flavor of malt mixed with caramel. Great balance between the sweet malt and the bitter aftertaste.

Clear deep golden color with a fine head. Looks good. Fine pleasant intensity in the aroma. Medium (+) body and a smooth carbonation level. Easy to drink. Oily texture. Ok balance between sweetness and bitterness. Toffee, dried fruits, citric and some pine in the flavor. Nice one!

Bottle shared at home, bought at Beer Corner, Athens, batch #2. Pours dark amber with fair, lasting, off-white head. Good lacing, medium body, no particles, somehow oily mouthfeel, soft dry lasting aftertaste. Malty on the nose, with notes of pine, and maybe hints of summer fruits like apricot. Citrus peel, caramel, pine, soft and sweet malts. Balanced amounts of hoppy bitterness and caramel sweetness, average alcohol levels . Drinkable, enjoyable, and a very good first attempt by Sknipa Microbrewery.
