Bottle. Itβs an unclear, dark golden beer topped by a small, off-white head. The aroma has yeast, diacetyl, caramel and some fruityness, with the flavor more or less the same. Some bitterness too in the flavor, especially in the swallow. Medium body, quite dry on the palate. Probably not off this one, but at least not very pleasant. 130607

500 ml bottle. Hazy orange body with a small off- white head. Aroma is caramel and diacetyl. Flavor is sweet malty, some bitterness, a bit harsh butter. Medium body and aftertaste in same style as the flavor. Probably not in its best shape this one.

Medium offwhite head. Clear amber body with strong carbonation. Earthy caramelly rye crisp bread aroma. Dry-sweetish roasty earthy rye crisp bread taste with spicy notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dry rye crisp bread aftertaste with fruity spicy notes. Nice and drinkable. (0.5l bottle, from Meny StrΓΈmmen Storsenter.)

0.5l bottle. This is a cloudy deep dark orange one, almost bronze actually and it has a nice bug almost fluffy off-white top. Quite fruity and almost a bit sweet on the aroma. I get traces of both potatoes, fruits, pencil and caramel. A decent non extreme aroma. At first it feels dry on the tongue dry actually, before the sweetness lurks it's way on to the palate in the aftertaste. Average on the carbonation and thin oily on the mouthfeel. More earthy, almost soil like tones in the flavor, it's floral, something a bit dark over it and sweet malty biscuits. Really lightdrinkable and I'm noticing that I'm enjoying it more and more the further I get down the bottle. This is more my kind of bitter. A bit different from all the rest if them. 05.04.2013

Hand pulled cask at NWAF, shared half pint. Good lacing to the glassware. Copper coloured body. Dry fruity smell as well as a touch of spices. Semi-sweet malty taste supported by apricot. The aftertaste is mild with spiced bitterness. Pleasing (Manchester, 25.01.2013).
