Bottled from Bierzwerg. Caramel color with medium white head. Fruity, syrupy aroma. Tastes like very weak lemonade with hints of malt. Very quick finish. Almost no taste.

Pours amber/ruby with a creamy small head.Nose isn’t great. Shows some caramel and nutty notes, but quite dirty.Flavours are very malty, loads of caramel and bready hints. Finishes with a mild bitterness.Nice moderate carbonation, works surprisingly well with the richer flavours.Apart from the aroma, pretty good!
