Hazy orange amber beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, airy, decent fine minerally carbonation coming through on the back end. Sweet malts, a wheaty vibe, slightly spicy. Mild but sweet esters. Fair bit of floralness before some mild bright ripe citrus. Light finish. Tad sweet but, pretty drinkable.

Dorada casi limpia de abundante espuma de retención media. Aroma a grano ligeramente especiado. En boca cuerpo moderado, punzante de gas. Muy agradable sabor malteado, con ligero toque cereal especiado y algo metálico al avanzar el trago. Agradable.

Bottle from Great Grog. Clear deep golden body with an off-white head. Fine carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of copper and bread. Flavour of dried grass and steel. Medium body with a smooth texture. Light fizz. It’s a bit tinny and metallic.

Flaska från Bierothek. Gyllengul klar vätska med en rejäl skumkrona. Säd och bröd med tydlig maltsötma. En lite brödkryddor beska stramar upp sötma bra. Kanske inte den mest spännande men drickvänlig och gör sitt jobb. Trevlig

Brown with a foamy head. Bread and fudge aroma with mineral water and lots of moldy dankness. Taste is sweet with a faint mineral bitterness at the finish. Body to the light side of medium, quickly fading carbonation, a touch watery. Lacks character. Drinkable.

Swing top job. Mitchell’s Wines. Hazed slightly mucky gold. Good swede. Nose has quite flowery perfumed hop on top of ginger biscuit malts. Taste is pretty sweet overall and feels oddly thin and watery. Modest bitterness to finish. Not really digging this. Bit weird.
