(bottle) Slightly hazy, dark amber colour with a small foamy off-white layer. Fruit-accented (citrus, red berries), light-sweet and slightly toasted malty aroma with floral, piney hops. Bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied with a smooth carbonation. Toast-malty and fruity taste with caramel and a well-integrated, aromatic hops presence; dry and bitter finish, slightly toasty with resiny hops and a light but balancing malty sweetness.

(bottle, bought in Dortmund, Germany) Hazy, amber colour with a short, off-white foamy head. Aromatic floral and resiny hops aroma with fruity berry notes and a touch of liquorice. Bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied but far away from being watery; soft carbonation. Slightly toasted malty base with berries and a pleasant, slightly spicy, resiny hop-character; dry and moderately bitter finish, again with pleasant fruity accents. This one shows once more that a good beer does not necessarily need a high abv.

Cask at JDW. Nice copper colour with a very small amount of head. Hop, staw like flavour and similar taste. A little citric acid in there aswell. Nothing extraordinary, but very drinkable.

Nice ruby colour, with a light malt fruit nose, and a deep rich fruit flavour with a little hoppyness in its finish.
