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.

Bottle: Pale golden, no head to speak of..; only a few words: grainy, thin, watery, some anonymous bitterness. GULP !
