(Bottle 50 cl) Deep golden - bordering amber - with a small, creamy and dense head. Very soft and slightly sweet with a low carbonation. Marked, smooth wheaty touch, but nowhere similar to neither German nor Belgian wheats. Reminds me more of a pleasant, caramelish English strong ale. Very quaffable. 161101

(Bottle 50 cl) Very pretty, clear amber with a small head. Vague nutty, malty notes and a marked bitter finish. Not that much going on here... 090601

An orange beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet and dominated by apples, while the flavor mixes notes of malt and apples. Apple beer is not me - I rather keep cider and beer apart.

Quite full bodied with malty and fruity flavour. Found on the nice looking bottle in Blå Rock Café, Tromsø, Norway. Sampled it on cask last year and found the bottled version to have less body, more hops and less bitterness in the finish.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear amber colour with a creamy, white head. Fresh, hoppy aroma. Malty and caramelish with distincy underlying notes from the added apple juice. Dry, bitter finish. 041105

Bottle. Unpleasant apple aroma. Copper colour, no head. Flavour is roughly bitter and slight appleish. Not a good combination.

[Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy orange beer with a nice orange head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of apples - and so is the flavor, where the apple presence reminds me most of the apple core. The end is dry. Refreshing, but just not me.

Cask handpull at Lord Moon of the Mall JDW, Whitehall. Orangey gold colour, red apple on the aroma, ok in mouth, some caramel on finish with more slightly artificial apple flavour

Bottle: Amber coloured, thin but lasting white foam; fruity-malty nose, mixed with a moderate floral/ herbal hoppiness; moderate malty-bitter flavour, ending with a long, dry hoppy-aromatic finish. Fine, very "english" !
