Bottle from Toft Vin, Copenhagen - orange pour with white head. Aroma and taste is subdued citrus and tropical fruity, light malty, caramel, light floral and herbal notes, kind of messy, not doing it for me.

330 ml bottle, from a cornershop in Cardiff, drank it too warm in my hotelroom. Copper colour, moderate head, slightly off-white. Strong sweetish aroma, malts, caramel, whisky, oak, some hints of fruity hops too. The flavour is sweet and malty, with notes of caramel, whisky and oak - but the 4 American hops are hardly noticeable, just a slight fruitiness, and minimal bitterness. Not an IPA this one.
