Bottle from Systembolaget. Classic nose, edge of apple juice and pee though. Gold with ok fizz for a bitter. Tastes and goes down just like you'd want it to. Top class bitter imo.

Djup gyllengul klar vätska med försvinnande lite men närvaroanmäld skumslöja. Arom av fruktiga toner med karamellig antydan. Stadig maltighet med tydliga inslag av gräsig beska med inslag av höig torr buskväxt. Jämn och lätt medellång eftersmak.

Flaska från SB. Gyllengul klar vätska med medelhögt skum. Lätt och torr men ändå en söt smakbild med karamellig malt. Gräsig humle med lite maskrosblad, sommarblommor och fläder. Malt och humle gifter sig fint, lång eftersmak, drickvänlig och god
