Smell-medium strong, malt, Belgian yeast, spice, hops, citrus. Foam- thin, malt, caramel, weak acidic tones, weak sourness or saltiness, Belgian notes. Head is medium-sized, white in color. Appearance - beer-specific bottle cap, somewhat simple label, beer series.Clear orange-amber color, some active carbonation. From - snifter Taste- citrus, malt, caramel, sweetness, Belgian notes, sugar. Sugar kind of even dominates it, its mixed with malt, Belgian notes and hops. I do like sweet beers, but this feels fairly unbalanced, and rather than fermented sugar feels like someone just mixed in some sugar right before pouring it in glass. Odd...

Cork-top bottle, 0.75l, shared with colleagues. Aroma is caramelly, dried fruity and yeasty. Pours clear brown color with large thick soapy tan-like head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts medium sweet caramelly and dried fruity, following is lightly roasted, while finish is mild bitter. Medium body, oily texture and lively carbonation in palate. Cheap, but not a trick…

Süsses, malziges Bier, eher wie ein Red, Hopfen kommt nicht richtig gegen die Süsse an. An sich nicht schlecht, IMHO aber kein Pale Ale.
