Bottled (backlog). Orangeish amber colour with a small off-white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is fruity, caramelly, and mildly toffeeish. Also mild wood and grass with a slight acidic touch. Flavour is wood, caramel malts, some toffee, floral hops, mild nuttiness as well as some crystal malts. Alcohol does give a slight sting too.

Bottled. Hazy deep golden, huge head. Citric nose. Medium bodied with soft mouthfeel. Realy sweet with plenty of butter and lemon. Low bitterness. Sourness seem unintended and disturbs.
