Bottle @ WWT II. Clear amber color, small beige head. Smell and taste malts, overripe fruits, sweetness. Sounds ok if you read this, but it’s actually pretty bad. A bit watery, low to medium carbonation.

A slightly hazy light orange beer with a nice white head. The aroma is like cardboard, combined with light notes of hops, on a slightly sour background. The flavor is malty with light notes of hops, but also metal - leading to a dry end.

Bottled. Clear golden, rich head. Spicy hop aroma with some green bottle induced off flavours on top of it. Sweet, grainy and solidly malty, surprisingly bitter finsih. Pretty good.
