Hazy orange.yellow body with big white head. Fruity, spicy aroma — coriander, banana, orange. The flavor is fruity as well though the alcohol and hops stick with the flavor throughout. Plum, orange and bitter hops. Peppery, warming finish from the alcohol. Ample carbonation and a moderate finish.

Bottled. Poured slightly cloudy orange with a persistent white head. Aroma is citrus with a little sourness and a spicy yeast character. Smooth and substantial body with a little carbonation. The taste has a notable yeast character with some sourness. Almost tastes salty. Notes of dark fruits. The finish is spicy bitter.

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 14 July) Colour is dark brown, with hints of ruby, and a frothy head. Nose is malty with butter-scotch, toffee, dark bread, caramel and marzipan. Taste is malty, a bit roasted, with dried fruit, figs, nuts (hazel nuts) and somewhat lactic. Well balanced sweetness and a touch of hops in the finish. Nice brew!
