Small off-white head, fed by lively carbonated orange-ochre beer. Sweetish citrus nose, some cat's pee/valerian. Some chalk too. Not very imposing; Quite bitter with a sweeter, malty surrounding. In the finish the CO² gives it a near sourish touch, which enhances the citrus. Long bitter-bitterish aftertaste, grapekernels. The aftertaste has also something of dried apricots; Very carbonated, very slick, smooth. I'm certainly not bowled over, but is nowhere bad. 6/4/7/3/14

Bottle @ home. Typical bock beer darker amber color, average sized off-white to beige head. Not a lot of aroma initially. After a while some malts and caramel but I don't get much more. Flavor is malts, caramel, lightly malty bitter but also a bit dark sugary sweetish. Not the standard bockbier but also not that far away from it. Solid as always from Pontus.
