Lattina. Un arco olfattivo dominato dall'orzo tostato. L'intensità olfattiva è normale, permanendo in maniera sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma cremosa ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il liquido appare opalescente. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è pieno. Il dolce è medio in buon equilibrio con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Il tetto della bocca riconosce indizi di miele, pane tostato e agrumi.

Can. Pours quite Guinneslike: hazy very dark brown with creamy, stable white head. Clear aroma of malt and yeast, with touches of caramel and nuts. Roasty flavour with notes of malt, touches of caramel and estery and hoppy hints. Roasty but smooth palate, with estery and malty touches and nutty notes. Lovely.

Amber appearance, good head, lacing, heavily hazy but not milky, good trick thar. Good nose: orange, pine, pineapple, some herby notes at the back (mint?). Full bodied and well rounded. Pine dominating, definite orange marmalade following, lingering bitterness, dry finish. Tiny bit puckering at the very end. Very good!

Rocky white head on a turbid dull golden coloured body.
Malt, orange & pine aroma.
Medium bodied, soft & cloying.
Orange, pine, bitter hops & stone fruit tastes.
Not sure what style this beer is supposed to be but it tastes half decent.

Аромат действительно красного эля. Есть хмель британский континентальный, немного травянистости, намеки на орехи и солод. Цвет темно красный, пенка соответственно крутая для нитро. Вкус очень кремовый как и должен быть. Почти никаких фруктов и карамели, только кремовость и легкая травянистость. В целом дико приятно, единственный минус пить надо сразу, а то без азота пить тяжело, становится горько и пусто.
