Big white coarseish head. Hazy yellow body with wild carbonation in big bubbles. Fruity herbal yeasty aroma with chalky notes. Sweetish chalky fruity soda taste with grassy lemony notes. Mid-to-thin body. Fizzy mouthfeel. Dry herbal chalky grassy aftertaste with citric notes. It’s not bad. (0.5l bottle, Wine Rack, Edinburgh.)

Bottle from Sainsburys. Light gold pour with a foamy white head. Good carbonation. Aromas of citrus, peaches, baked apples. A very fruity aroma. Unfortunately the taste didn’t live up to the interesting smells eminating from the glass. Floral tasting with hints of grapefruit. Quite a bitter mouthfeel. Finishes hoppy and bitter.

Brownish color, no foam. The beer is very balanced, I hardly noticed the high alcohol content. (11,7%) Smells malty, caramel, fruit and a bit burnt. The flavor is very sweet, toffee and chocolate. Port wine sense. Bitterness is nice. The body feels great, got a bit "oily" feeling in the mouth when I drank the beer.
