Bottle, 22oz, courtesy of MiP. It’s a hazy, amber beer with a finger-thick beige head. The aroma has a slightly sourish berry touch, but it’s mostly caramel fruityness. Quite fizzy mouthfeel, full-bodied. The flavor has some berries, caramel and a sour touch. Quite alcoholic, giving a certain warmth, especially towards the end. Rather boring at first, but gets better after a while, even though it’s too alcoholic. 100814

Cloudy amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, sugar and fruit. Dry fruity and malty flavour. Over-carbonated and acidic, not pleasant on my tongue

Bottle, 9%. Mild farty aroma. Cloudy red amber colour. Stable light brown head. The flavour is sweetish with an OK subtle tart fruitiness (intended or not). High carbonation.
