Bottled (best before end 0206 (2006), had in March 2013). Deep amber colour, small white head. Aroma is mild fruits, wood, caramel malts and some mild toasted notes. Flavour is rather similar with some mild rye as well. A bit flat as for the carbonation, but otherwise quite pleasant.

A reddish yellow beer with a weak and blond head. Aroma of northern cranberries and malts, northern cranberry is dominating, but that’s OK, due to natural aroma. Taste of malts, northern cranberries, mild bitterness and it’s slightly sharp, slightly musty aftertaste. In the aftertaste sourness of northern cranberries are again there, but still the taste is quite short. Light bodied and very light to drink. Lots of northern cranberries that works quite nicely in the aroma, but in the taste a balance is missing and even nothern cranberries can’t save this beer.

Can 0.5l from local market. "Enjoyed" straight from the can. Aromas and flavours: Cranberry and some hints of malts. Surprisingly dry. I guess it will be hard to find someone who likes this.
