Draft at The Taste of London Food Festival 2011. It pours clear red-amber, with moderate carbonation and a foamy off-white head. The nose is caramel malt, roasted barley, metal and Ovaltine. The taste is caramel, fruit cake, metal, milk chocolate, nut, praline, nougat and hay, with a dry finish. Overall it is fairly sweet, but decent enough (and not as bad as I was expecting!).

330ml see-through bottle picked up at my local Prix store. Body colour is clear, yellow with a light greenish tint to it. Noisy, rapidly declining white head. Aroma is papery dry. Dry sour malts in flavour, some hints of apples and very much mineral water. Thin and dry in the mouth. Nothing, really (Tromsø, 16.05.2011).

Bottle. Trying to sample this one with an open mind, knowing that every rater before me has rated it very low. Well, already at the pour I see it ain’t gonna bring much joy. The body is pale, almost yellow, and topped by a white head of very moderate size. Aroma-wise it’s certainy not better, vegetal and slightly skunked as it is. Some fruityness blends in, like overripe pears and a touch of yellow apples. The flavor is decent. Sort of decent. At least it’s not very flawed, although a bit heavy on the metal. Not that there’s much flavor at all, some ripe pears and yellow apples, a faint touch of bitterness and also some grainy hints. The mouthfeel is thin and foamy, making me think of chewing soap foam, wihtout the soap flavor. Towards the very end there’s a touch of bitterness, just to tease you a little bit, making you think you might get a decent finish, although judging from the rest of the experience you know for sure that you don’t. The design of the bottle, and the color of the beer might lead a few youngsters to think it’s really an alkopop, I bet the brewery hope they do so, as I can’t really see it will be around for a long time if not. 110521
