Pours a pale orange colour with a thinnish white head. Good flavour with notes of citrus peel, freshly-mown grass and herbs. Medium body but good, bitter aftertaste. Excellent hop flavour. Great flavour for the low strength!

Bottle (4.5%), present from my brother โ drank at home. Pours a very dark mahogany with minimal transient beige head. Thereโs roasted malts and chocolate in the aroma plus traces of berry fruits. In the mouth the initial reaction is to the extreme bitterness of roasted malts and coffee grounds, but after this wears off a little sweetness can be detected. Thereโs also hints of dark fruits, fudge, milky chocolate and ash. Bitterness lasts into the dry finish. This is very nice.
