Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival 2008. A slightly hazy amber beer with a huge orangey head. The aroma is sweet with notes of brewmash, malt, caramel and straw - boring. The flavor is sweet malty with ntoes of caramel, leading to a dry straw finish.

Poured a clear amber color with a minimal white head. Smells of citrus and hops, tastes of the same with malts and some floral tones. Smooth to drink with a pleasant hops finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Bachelor Bitter on 29 Dec 2006 at 17:18 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7. Original review text: Bottle: Nice amber pour with a thin white head. Starts off with a malty sweetness and then lots of citrus and floral hops, plenty of bitterness in the end. Thanks, Leah!

Tons of earthy sweet malt in nose and taste. Poured cloudy amber with off-white head. Slight presence of hops, but the caramel, brown sugar malt taste dominates. Smooth on the palate. Nice brew.
