Bottled at 7:an, Gothenburg. Sparkling, golden beer with a nice, dense, white head. Grainy and malty aroma and flavor, with some more sweetness in the flavor. Some hops as well. Medium body and a bit dryish finish. Decent at max. Rating: 4-3-4-3-8-2.2. 060824

Bottle. A clear, golden beer topped by a white head. Grainy, bready nose with grassy, spiced hops. The flavor is pretty much the same, quite unpleasant finish, too grainy and sweet. Medium body. A quite drinkable beer, but I would live unhappy if this was to be my everyday beer. 091226

Bottled. Amber colour, small white head. Aroma of plum, alcohol, malts and some fruits. Fruits, plum and hops dominate the flavour. Aftertaste is fruit and candy sugar. Hides the alcohol very well. Also some caramellish hints.

(Bottled, vintage 2005, abv 7,9%, at Delirium Café, Gothenburg 6 July) Colour is tawny, with a firm beige head. Nose is malty, sweet, slightly wineous with notes of chocolate, toffee, caramel and black currant. Taste is malty, wineous with a well balanced sweetness and notes of dried fruit (apricots). Nice bitterness in the long wineous finish. Good stuff.
