440ml bottle many thanks to Stefan for sharing. Dense and bubbly off-white head. Lacing rings down the glass. Near-clear amber coloured body. Moderate smell of caramel and apricot. Flavoured with mid-sweet caramel, earth, and dried fruity hops. Bittersweet ending. Medium bodied. Fair enough (session in Tromsø 03.06.2015).

Bottle shared with JMD at HNB. Foamy and uneven off-white head. Fine lacing. Aroma of noble pilsner hops and slightly caramelized malt. Malt in aftertaste. A lovely and well-balanced pilsner, with pronounced taste of malt, balanced with hops and bitterness. High quaffability!

Bottle from Loco Liquor in Blairgowrie, Johannesburg, the BBE that was supposed to be printed on the cap is just a cloud of black printer dots
Hazy amber color with medium sized compact head. The aroma is rather sweaty, from the hops, a bit metallic, followed by some caramel, maybe vegetables. The caramel flavor is good, with a rather dry mouthfeel; the first sips were clean and pleasant, with a high bitterness level and some orangey hop qualities, but as I dig into the glass a coarser bitterness appears, more vegetables (from the yeast), and some chicory.
Still, it’s a good beer, but what happened there removes the excitement.

Hazy dark blond color. It has a malty aroma with a bit of citrusy character. Dry mouthfeel with a good zesty aftertaste; correct bitterness level.
Good.
