Can. Orangeish amber with a fluffy white head that fades fairly fast. 3+ Biscuity aroma with nice fresh spicy notes. Not as rich as guessed and the alcohol intrudes just a bit. Moderate bitterness. Not bad at all.

From a 440ml can on 28/9/2024. Pours a clear light amber with a smallish head. Smells malty, with rye bread, spice and some banana. Tastes quite sweet up front - rye, caramel, banana and clove, with a very gentle bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is slick, the carbonation moderate. Doesn't present as 7.7%. Different, good.

(Can) Pours clear deep amber with small tan head. Lovely aroma of caramel with notes of bread crust. Medium body with plenty of fine carbonation. Great taste. It is rich with plenty of caramel malt. This is balanced well with a good bitter finish. There’s notes of bread crust and hints of stone fruit. Very drinkable.

(Can) Pours slightly hazy amber. Pleasant but quite subtle aroma with orangey citrus and notes of toffee and biscuit. Good mouthfeel with medium body and bright carbonation. Good taste. The orange and toffee from the aroma a present in the flavour and are joined by a nice hoppy bitterness. Quite simple, but very well balanced and very drinkable.
