Bottle from Deeside Drink Emporium. It pours hazy red-brown, with a thin off-white head. The nose is spice, wood, resin, underlying sweet malt and a touch of washing-up liquid. The taste is wood, caramel, sweet red berry, slight astringency, resin, spice and some grass, with a dry finish. Medium body, moderate carbonation and slightly sticky mouth-feel. Alright.

Bottle from Deeside Drink Emporium. it pours clear golden yellow, with and orange hue and a thick white head. The nose is orange, tangy marmalade, sherbet and some underlying pale malt sweetness. The taste is dough, sharp citric aspect, pithy orange, tanginess, sherbet and faint spice, with a dry, citric finish. Medium body, fairly harsh fizzy carbonation and slightly sticky mouth-feel. Flavour is dominated by fairly sharp citrus character. Ok, but not overly drinkable.

Bottle from Deeside Drink Emporium. It pours clear golden yellow, with a medium white head. The nose is fairly faint...straw, light citrus, tangerine, underlying malt sweetness. The taste is grain, biscuit, straw, soft orange and tangerine, with a dry, lightly citric finish. Light-medium body and moderate carbonation. Easy going and pretty drinkable, if a bit forgettable.

Bottle shared with (and great courtasy of) the fantastic Bergen tasting crew with such stars as ClubGonzo, Inbreak and Palme, and the mighty StoreMy. What an aweful start on such a great tasting evening! Pours a clear red colour with a small pink head, like a red lemonade or something. Expected aroma of beetroot, but with some earth, basement and potato/potato starch. Beet roots also dominates the flavour along with earth, sour roots, and radishes. Silky and extremely slick mouth feel. A new type of brew for me, but not a very good one. Too many aromas and flavours that should never be in a beer, and it get worse for every sip.

0.33l bottle shared with The Tasting Crew. Pours a mindblowing beet-red body - really scared me this color! It also has a thin small quickly sidesticking head. The aroma has strong cellar tones, surprisingly hints of chocolate/cocoa and hints of good old canning. It's really flat and has a thin and watery texture. It tastes a bit like earthy un-treated beets. At first really unpleasing, but I managed to finish the glass. Almost no bitterness. Way out on the crazy-scale this "beer"! 13.04.2012

Aroma: Musty yeast smell. Subtle lemon notes.
Appearance: Hazy cardboard-coloured body. No head whatsoever. Virtually no carbonation.
Taste: Almost flavourless. Lemon notes trying to get through, but stifled by a dusty, bland yeast flavour. It tastes like diluted beer.
Palate: Thin, watery and flat.
Overall: Easily the worst beer I have ever tasted. Undrinkable.
