(Bottle, Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 16 March 2010) Amber colour with brief, white head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of caramel, tea, red berries and floral hops. Malty, fruity taste with caramel, grain, red fruit and floral hops in a fairly dry finish. Medium body, balanced sweetness. Crisp and clean, but wouldn’t suffer from some more bite.

Bottle. Small, white head that disappears. The body is amber. The aroma has cookie, toast and flowers. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Medium body with a watery to creamy texture. Lively carbonation. The body was the best thing about the beer which is average and overly sweet.
