Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 29A/18B). Bottle 33 cl - Batch unknown (BBF JAN.18).

Bottle @ home. Hazy orange color, medium to full sized white to off-white head that lasts for quite a long time. Aroma is malts, lightly floral but also a bit weird. Taste malts, again immediately something weird, some hops surely, caramel notes in the background, firm bitter hops, bitter. Ends better than it started. Decent.
