Amber gold beer. Crisp palate. Pronounced Rhubarb that leads to a bone dry hoppy and rhubarb finish that lingers and lingers. Unusual but the palate makes it hard work.

Dyp brun. Masse luft i glasset som sakte klarner. Flott kremskum. Pent. Forsiktig aroma med litt frukt & malt. Syrlig fruktig smak. Svakt fruktig bitter ettersmak.
