Hazy amber pour, beige head.
Aroma of caramel malts, very light pine, and the slightest hint of licorice. The flavor is all sweet malts, caramel, some yeast, and more caramel. The licorice makes a small appearance in the finish, but really its not very evident. The finish is a medium bitter with a very earth hop note.

Bottle sample at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Thanks troubles. Hazy orange-amber with an off-white heas. Slightly spicy hoppy aroma with a bit of flowers, citrus and dust. Flavor has sweet chewy malt, a bit of caramel, a bit of sugar, some fruitiness and a mildly bitter finish with a bit of hops and a faint metallic hint. Medium-bodied. So-so.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of fruits and hops. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of liquorice, and medium notes of fruits and hops, leading to a dry liquorice-like finish. Thanks fiulijn for sharing.
