Bottle: Clear, chestnut-amber coloured, stable white foamy layer, mild sweetish malty-fruity nose, supported by a light hoppy background; mild to moderate sweetish-bitter flavour; slightly increasing bitterness in the fruity finish, that shows traces of dark malt in the aftertaste.Regarding the low alcohol, a fine beer...

Bottle. Clear amber with a medium white head. Aroma of somewhat earthy hops, minerals and a bit of malt. Sweetish flavor, slightly minerally, with some slightly metallic bitterness in the finish. Light to medium-bodied. Drinkable.

Sweetish aroma, but when drunk it is a healthy clean bitter taste despite low alcohol content.

From a ’brew-masters choice’ 4 pack. Dark amber pour with a beige head. Nuts and hop aromas. Nutty flavours with some light hops, caramel and fresh bread. Light bitter finish. Quite dull.
