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

Pours deep golden with a tight head. Aroma is caramel, honey, cookie dough and grassy hops. Somewhat watery body. Flavour is caramel and honey followed by a long, aromatic bitterness.

Bottle courtesy of Bill and Julia, many thanks guys. Had this at home Sunday 23rd February 2025, after a short walk to Gasthof zum Sonnewald Schöfweg (our local) pours light amber, decent clarity and a mid sized white head. Middling bitterness, a little citrus, it's a touch thin as only 3.4% abv, but pleasant.
