On tap at Patrick's. It's a clear headless straw colored cider with an apple driven aroma. Some straw and yeast, hints of sulphur. It's medium bodied and quite dry on the palate, with a low carbonation. Mostly clean apple juice flavor, with some grass and sulphur. Lemon juice hints. Medium length finish. A bit much sulphur here, but very refreshing. 230316

Re rate September 23 Tap@Håndverkeren. Same look, but the unpleasant aroma and taste is totally gone. I was told by the brewer there where some issues with the first batch, and now everything is as it was supposed to be. Nice, fruity refreshing. Tropical fruits, oranges and slightly floral. Modest bitterness by IBU bit feels much more bitter. Some green hop taste in aftertaste as well. Not a very typical pilsner, but nice and refreshing indeed.
Previous rating: Tap @ Håndverkeren. Unclear golden body under a white head. Unpleasant aroma of rubber and cooked vegetables. Taste has malt and grassy hops with decent bitterness, but the aroma simply destroys the experience. Actually, not possible for me to finish mote than a half glass.

Bottle, at Patrick's. An unclear dark brown beer with a minimalistic off-white head. Quite oily. The aroma has quite a lot of alcohol, but it's not pushing. Roasted malts, oak, coffee, booze, cold coffee, dark chocolate, some chemical notes, raisin, and a meaty touch. It's full bodied and warming, smooth, with flavors of dark chocolate, licorice, meat and some coffee. Intense, heavy finish too. Sure need some time to finish this one. Classic. 230218
