Can, from trade with oh6gdx. A clear, deep golden beer with a small off-white head. Fruity hops, a weak caramel touch, grains and a slightly sickly sweetness in the aroma. Almost sickly sweet malty and grainy flavor with some fruity hops giving bitterness. Medium body. Sweet finish with some bitterness. A dead boring beer, and not too good either. Definately not a good way to celebrate. (081206)

330ml Bottle - Brown in colour with some red tinges. Grainy aroma with a hint of spice and toffee. Sweetish malty taste with some toffee and caramel notes and grain and some nutty hints. Not bad by Olvi’s standards but that does not say much.

Can. It pours a clear, golden body with a small white head. Cooked vegetables, pale malt, grains and a little fruity touch in the aroma. The flavor too has the DMS and pale malt, finishing mostly on the fruity side. Some DMS in the finish too. Warming, full-bodied beer. Sure not a very good beer, to many off-flavors and lack of balance for that. A typical get drunk in a hurry beer. (080829)
