Bottled (Thanks Bov!). Yellow colour with mediumsized creamy white head, lacing. Aroma is some salty hops along with malty tones. Flavour is very malty, some hops and a nicely upbalancing tone of honey coming in the background. The honey grows for the finish and leaves a very nice flavour.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a hazy golden with a small, white head. Lightly hoppy aroma. Medium body with a good malt base and a distinct hop bitterness. Surprisingly hoppy. 151206

An unclear yellow beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of hops. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of both hops and cardboard. Quite refreshing.

Tried it in Switzerland. Bottle. Wasnt that bad when it was chilled but got worst minute by minute. Citric flavor, medium aroma. Quite light.

Golden colour with small white head. Some hoppy aroma. Thin watery taste with some thin maltyness. Dry and sweet mouthfeel. Easy drinking beer but not my favourite.

(Bottle 50 cl) What a beautiful swing-top bottle with the brewery seal imprinted into the glass. The beer itself is pale golden with a small, dense head. Unusual in the way that sourness rather than bitterness is the pronounced flavour pattern. The hops check in pretty late but they are present. 280702

(Bottle 58 cl) Golden, not much head. Sticky sweetness indicating brewing cereals, a slight touch of hops but otherwise a very forgettable brew. 270602

Blond color. The aroma is almost absent. Watery, no body, with a pretty high bitterness.

A hazy orange beer with a fine dense collapsing though lazing white head. The aroma is sweet and sour with notes of orangepeel, hops, and used socks. The flavor is malty with notes of brewmash, oranges, and hops. Almost as if it isn’t finished maturing - but it is very fresh. It ends with wheat sourness which disguises the use of corn.

Blond color. The aroma is not impressive, with the usual corn/paper/vanilla touch. More interesting the flavor, quite sweet, some malt and a decent bitterness.
