Big 1l-bottle directly from the brewery. Looks really good in the glass, light brown, cloudy, creamy head. Starts malty, modest dry in the background, yeasty, and spicy with notes of cinnamon and caramel. Finish a bit too dry and floury, still easy to drink. Great beer!

1l-bottle directly from the brewery. Beer in the glass looks good, fine turbid, creamy head. Starts mild, yeasty-malty, hoppy-dry in the background without being too much. Modest fruity like lemon in the end, still mild, very drinkable. Great beer!
