Bottle at Tre Små Rum, Göteborg
Cloudy blond color, with too many floating particles; generous head. It’s a hardcore Belgian Ale, in the yeast and hop profile; it’s also lightly spicy, it has a smooth mouthfeel and some honey flavor (maybe also some honey aroma); correct bitterness and evident alcohol warmth. I guess that it’s a couple of years old, and it has gained something with the age. Good.

Bottle, 8%. Yeasty aroma. Dark orange colour, plenty of small floaties. Very small white head. Flavour is very malty with a good flavour hop. A little sweet and fruity, and very spicy. Good spicy finish, with a little alcohol to enhance it.
