Thanks to Seanyfo for this beer. Best before date is 30.07.2014, Batch 539. Light amber colour. The beer starts mild, slightly sour. Nice "red" malty hints, very smooth. The main part is a bit watery, nice malty and a bit (for me) too sweet. The slight sourness in the end seems to be an infection - it doesn’t really fit into the whole picture. But as the beer was stored correctly and has still 9 month shelf-life, I don’t know. In the mouth stays a nice, smooth vienna-style malt-aroma with the typical bitterness of a nice ale. --> Interesting beer! 10/11/8/8

Hazy, clear red pint. Slightly sour aroma. Flavour is toffee but with a too-tangy sweet edge for my taste. It’s nice enough but unfortunately has quite a watery finish.

Bottle, gift from Tom. Hazy amber body with a thin off-white head. Steady carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of coffee, tamarind sourness and nuts. Flavour of toffee, cranberry and toast. Thin body with a watery, slick texture. Soft carbonation. There’s a weird sourness that spoils this a bit.

Clear red brown beer. Semi soft and semi dry palate. Watery beer! A little creamy malt and a little fresh orange and strawberry. Not a bad flavour but the beer is too watery.
