330 ml bottle, thanks to oh6gdx and chris_o. ABV is 6.5%. The beer starts pouring out as soon as the cap is removed. Cloudy golden brown colour, huge to moderate head. Yeasty aroma with notes of oranges, apricots and coriander. Rich mouthfeel, high level of carbonation. The flavour is sweet, spicy, yeasty and fruity, with lots of residual sugars. Hints of honey too. Moderate hops in the slightly peppery finish. Maybe a tad too sweet, but still an interesting beer.

Bottled. Deep ruby, fine head. Intense aroma of cherry and dark chocolate. Sweet with clean mouthfeel and medium body. Flavour alcohol and cocoa powder, crystalized sugar and blackberries. Fairly complex, but the clean hard mouthfeel is a minus.

Bottled
Hazy orange color, steady creamy off-white head. Aroma of honey, clover, coriander and yeast. Quite full-bodied, sticky. Flavor has a bit pepper, some dried yellow fruits (apricot, mango). Maybe wheat is used here, it gives such an impression. Finish is kind of liquerish. This is not a bad brew, it is just way too one-dimensional to get higher points than this.
