21/6/2023. Bottle courtesy of magic Maciej. Pours clear dark golden with a frothy white head. Aroma is malty, bready, grains, stewed fruits, slightly boozy and abrasive. Medium sweetness and moderate bitterness with a metallic edge. Medium body, very oily, average carbonation. Boozy park bench finish. Higher abv makes it a little rough but it’s not bad.

21/6/2023. Bottle courtesy of magic Maciej. This is now brewed at 5% and seems all the better for it judging by previous reviews from 2014-18. Pours clear golden with a frothy white head. Aroma is malty, lemon, citrus, straw with a slight sherbet and vaguely metallic edge. Medium sweetness and moderate bitterness with nice citric bitter tart notes. Moderate body, quite oily, average carbonation. Quite enjoyable, with the bitterness developing. Not the super sweet syrupy artificial radler I was expecting.
