Bottled. Amber colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is earthy, some fruits and alcohol. Flavour is quite much cardboard and some mild fruity nnotes. Quite nice., even though low rating, but bb was in 2001...

Dark amber; earth & sour orange aroma character; a little bit of late hop. Better than the last beer I had from them (pre-independence) but still, not enticing.
