Bottled (thanks omhper!). Deep hazy ambery brown colour, small off-white head. Aroma is mild eggy and oxidized (not good) way. Flavour is sweet malts, some herbs, caramel and mild herbal notes. Aroma is oxidized, but flavour quite normal.

Dark amber color with red shades, hazy. Strange aroma, some caramel, fruits, puke, alcohol. Common body, with boring caramel flavor and light signs of infection; light fruitiness too, and no evidence of wheat.

Hazy dark amber color. There is some quite nice hop aroma, with the caramel. The body is light, with some caramel flavor, and very dry mouthfeel; missing some better hopping here.

Bottled at 19 glas, Stockholm. Cloudy amber, faint head. Lightly citric banana aroma. Mid sweet with light body and spritzy mouthfeel. Unripe banana, elderflowers and wheat bread. Slight bandaid and some surprising bitterness in the finish. Correct, but not great.
