Just a slightly smoked and malty aroma and flavor. Almost smoked like an Islay malt whisky. Medium to full bodied. Just a touch of peachy fruitiness. Lovely beer, suitable for most beer drinkers taste, but with a "bite" that makes it an interesting beer.

Big lasting creamy head. perfumed aroma. Yeasty, perfumed somewhat citric flavor. Just a bit thin. Orange afteratste, just a bit yeasty. Disappointing beer, the cologne flavor spoils it a bit.

Draught at Zum Franziskaner, Stockholm. Possibly the freshest pilsner I have ever drunk in my life. It is so so easy to guzzle down, like water. Great job!
