(Bottle, Man in the Moon, Stockholm) Reddish amber colour with brief, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with citrus, orange peel, fruit cake, caramel, honey and bitter orange marmalade. Fruity, malty taste with notes of orange peel, woody hints of whisky, pine needles and resin, marmalade and a generous citrussy bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, fairly sweet but never cloying. The alcohol is evident but never takes over from all the aother elements. Brutal and smooth at the same time. Superb balance and a lovely sipping beer. Agree with Per: lovely now, but would probably age well. Stunning!
