Tap@ Bakgården. Hazy golden body with a fine white head. Aroma has malt, ripe fruit and some toffee. Flavor is relativity smooth malt, caramel, ripe fruit, medium bitterness and butterscotch. OK body and too much butterscotch in aftertaste is ruin the experience for me.

Bottle @ Fox and Hounds, Aabenraa. Unclear golden body with a nice, creamy white head. Nice and refreshing aroma of citric fruit, orange and some estery Belgium yeast. Flavor is nice and refreshing as well, citric fruit, zest, fruity yeast, oranges and moderate bitterness. Could also go as a hoppy saison. Medium body and nice aftertaste that feels a bit sharper in flavor. Nice one, getting better better when drinking more of it.

Can at home. Somehow it took me 7 years and close to 6 thousand beers to finally try this, crazy. Fine tuned bitterness, still quite ok hop character, great drinkability. If all macro beers were at least this level, then there’d probably be no need for 80% of craft breweries hehe

Can shared at Bro Ro's. Fasza kis oldschool american impy, kellemesen roasty, faszán komlós, nem megalkuvó, habár teste lehetne több azért

Bottle. I love it when breweries experiment and try and come up with something new. This is another fine example of that. Great job stone. This is a really good beer.
