Bottle from Systembolaget. Clear nose. Nice mahogany colour. Nice grassy hop at the end of the sip. Felt exactly like how a bitter should feel. Great stuff. (29/8/22). ---- Bottle from Systembolaget. Lovely nutty aroma. A pint of bitter exactly as it should look and taste. Moorish nutty hop flavours. 3.6 to 3.7. (13/3/23) --- Bottle from Systembolaget. Didn't come across as charming this time. Extremely nutty. 3.7 to 3.6.

Klar bärnstensfärg. Fast skum. Doft av kakdeg, karamell och torrt gräs. Tunn folkölsmässig munkänsla. Smak av karamell, lakrits, nässlor och bittermandel. Lite vass och kantig.

Flaska från SB. Klar gyllengul vätska med lågt krämigt skum. Doft av bröd, gräs och hö. Stiltypisk med bra kropp, blommig och gräsig humle med distinkt beska. Gott
