Bottled. A nut brown beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and elderflowers. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of toffee and some hops, leading to a bitter finish. The body is thin. Thanks yespr for sharing.

bottle 50cl, yespr. clear orange, small white head that goes away quickly. spicy grainy slight citrussy aroma, flavor is sunburned beer, slightly roasted plastic bucket, some bitterness from whatever was inside the bucket.. okay, probably just some weird spicing, but my objective description involves doing stuff to plastic that is not healthy.

Bottled. Pale brown, brief head. Syrupy bready nose. Sweet and bland with evident metal. Feels diluted and raw. Like if it you have just drank half the bottle and then filled it up with water. Some light resiny bitterness doesn’t save it. Almost worse then some of the local Carlsberg low-alc swill.
