Bottled. Amber colour, some sediment, rich fluffy head. Tart vinegary raspberry aroma, near Cantillon-like. The wonderful aroma is followed up by a refeshingly acidic and rather yeasty flavour. It’s fairly light bodied with spritzy mouthfeel and evident wheat malt character. The Cantillon-like acidity gradually turns lemonady and one-dimensional. It lacks all the finer details than Brettanomycaes brings to acidic beers. Still, thanks to it’s tart drynes,s it’s one of the better examples of fruit flavoured wheat beers. Pretty much along the same track that Redoak in Sydney is walking down.

Bottle. Nice roasted aroma. Black colour, small but stable and creamy light brown head. Thin mouthfeel. The flavour is nice enough, reminding me as much of cold coffee as beer. Long and nice coffee aftertaste. There is also some creaminess to the flavour, a bit like ice cream. This is a good beer, but I cannot help wondering why it is so thin. 7 3 7 3 15

A deep amber beer with a huge orange head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with notes of brewmash, fruits, and citrus. The flavor is also sweet malty with strong notes of fruit, especially oranges, but also notes of brewmash and caramel, the malt note has a hint of roastiness - like roasted bread. The body is a bit thin.

First rating.Bottle of 750 ml with a cork like on the picture to the left. Bought at Swedish alcohol store "Systembolaget".Beautiful ruby red color with a big creamy brown head. Coffee and chocolate scent. Big body and great bitterness. Big chocolaty and coffee taste and long aftertaste.Cloudy look the second time, since the size of the bottle compared to my glass didn’t allow one pour only. Yeast sediment is to "blame", but I do love bottle conditioned beer. Some alcohol in the scent when the beer gets a bit warm.8/5/8/4/17=4.2Second rating March 10, 2007.75 cl bottle at Delirium Café, Göteborg.Clear red-brown color, dissapearing tan/beige head. Nice smooth chocolate scent with some salty mineral in the back. Salty roasted chocolate and bitter taste. Smooth mouthfeel. Medium bitterness.7/3/7/4/15=3.6

Deep ruby, almost black colour. Nice head. Very roasty, almost smoked aroma with notes of toffee and cocoa. Flavour is very roasty, yet balanced. A pleasant porter.

750ml bottle brought home to Norway from the St. Albans beer festival, Sept.05. Bright golden. Medium foam with nice dimples. Grassy and hoppy nose. Flavours of citrus. Hoppy bitterness in the aftertaste. A powerful beer (sampled together with Finn, 27.01.2006).

A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of straw. The flavor is sweet and slightly acidic and prickles the tongue - but without any specific character.

Large 660ml Bottle. This poured hazy and Golden and was a bit lively. Detected some banana’ish’ flavour in there and was quite sweet. Can’t say I am overly familiar with this style but seemed a pretty decent effort.
