Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and spices, as well light notes of ginger. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of ginger and caramel, leading to a dry spicy finish - especially cardemomme. Thanks fonefan for sharing.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of fonefan. Slightly hazy amber golden with a small, rough, of-white head. Delicious fruit aroma – and some distinct Brett. Medium body, lightly sweet caramel and nuts and some fairly spicy notes. Lightly bitter finish. Doubt that the Brett was intended, but it really adds to the beer in a positive way. 220808

Bottle, shared by fonefan. It pours an orange-golden slightly hazy body under a beige head of minimal height. More or less a layer of bubbles. Dusty, slightly citric nose with caramel and toffee. Caramel and some spiced notes in the flavor, along with a slightly funky note. Medium body. Dusty, citric and sour finish with some bitterness. Even though it’s a drinkable beer, there’s evidence of infection in it, which would probably have left it undrinkable in short time. (080822)

50 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a lacing off white head. Mild orange fruity and brettish aroma. Dry and spiced flavour with a mild caramel malt smoothness to a dry brettish base flavour. Lingering woody and mild spiced finish.
