Clear yellow color with a medium white head that evaporates steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing. Aroma of spices, grain and wheat. Light-bodied with flavors of mildly tart citrus fruit, coriander and biscuit malt. The finish is fruity with a spiced wheat and yeast aftertaste. Decent overall.

On tap at Mikkeller Stockholm. Black with a small tan head. Sweet aroma and taste of coffee, roasted malt, chocolate and nuts. An ok one for being only 3,5%.

Draught @ Mikkeller Sthlm. Not much in common with the original Beer Geek beer. Way too sweet and one dimensional due to the heavy coffee notes.
