Draft somewhere in Glasgow. An amber beer with a dense orangey head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, leading to a slightly bitter finish. Somewhat boring and without any character.

Draft. A red-brown beer with a creamy cream colored head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel. The flavor has caramel notes like a hvidtøl, though the sugar and licorice is missing, and instead it has light notes of roasted malt and nuts. The body is very thin.

Bottled. A red-orange beer with a beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel, and the flavor is extremely sweet - like Danish hvidtøl, with notes of caramel. Not bad - but lacking licorice to be a real hvidtøl.

Bottle from 3 Judges ... Saw someone else with one and though what the hell and got one. This really suprised me (currently the top rater by a long way.) In no way is this a RIch and complex beer. But i like sweet beers and this hit the spot with me. And i think its great to find such low alcohol beers now and then. Deep Black ... Little smokey malts nose ... sweet fruity blackcurrent bit fizzy no real depth or obvious malt or hop character ... oddly reminds me of flat coke. if this was stronger id probly rate it 3.0 but the beuty for me is the drinkability of this 2% beer, handy if driving. On second rate down from 3.8 ->3.4 it is just a bit too sweet

On tap at Clockwork, Glasgow. Amber, lasting beige head. Bit of banana and caramel throughout. Bit thin. Really toffee-y. Pretty terrible.

bottle - Pours clear bronze with a medium head. The aroma is corn malt. The flavor is corn malt and some mild hops. At least it’s not terribly watery. Easy drinking with a lightly bitter finish, this beer is actually pretty good for the style, but that’s not saying much.
