Not a gusher but the head was doming out of the neck of the bottle. A mild haze on this orange gold beer, tidy small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, smooth and mildly dry, decent superfine carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, a light sweetness. Plenty of funk, fairly soft and mildly savoury. Smooth crystallized fruits citrus on the back end, again quite soft. A light finish. Hides the abv well. A fairly simple affair but it's quite drinkable.

Bottle. Mills online shop. Hazed glowing orange gold. Beautiful swede is slim dense glossy and lasting. Looks boss. Nose has petrol forward apple pomace. Lots of rough skinned apple and pear. I’m going for red wine as the barrel used. Mills bugs. All that. Taste is juicy sweet and light bitter. Drinks like pop. Juicy lightly tart finish. Lots going on here but stays easy drinking.

Glass is a top tier Mills and this is a top tier Glass. White Burgundy barrels lift heavy and Hallertau hops get the reps in. Classy gear. Juicier than the 1980 Mr Olympia line up (Mike Mentzer was a bit of a mardy arse tbf).

Честно, не понял хайп. Очень кислое у меня было, прям с намеками на саур с американским хмелем. В принципе можно пить, но как лагер очень спорно.

Bottle via the online shop. Mostly clear deep cola brown with a thick fairly loose lasting beige foam. Looks boss. Nose has sweet balsamic. Old oak. Brett. Light nutty chocolate malt. Leafy peppery aged hop. Taste is semi sweet with a decent tangy bitterness throughout. Foamy rolling carbonation. Bit of twangy tartness to finish. Minimal acidity without being overly complex makes for an easy drinking beer in the style of a well made Oud Bruin. Class.
