Bottle, many thanks jonas and Ursula! Opaque deep orange color with white head. Aroma is big resin, treebark indeed, mild wheat, peppery. Taste is a bit of rye spice-style, dash of tannins somehow, almonds, cherry stone, mild sweetness, feels pretty full-bodied. Oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Tasty!
