500ml bottle. Cloudy amber with small creamy white head. Slightly fruity, bitter hop aroma, some wood and leather. Taste is very dry, on the edge to soapy, some wood on a good malty basis. Again a beer from Hornbeam, monotonous in taste, but a compound of harmonically integrated portions. Well done.

500ml bottle. Clear amber couloured with huge frothy lasting white head. Cautious bitter hop aroma, strawy, notes of coniferes and clove. Monotonous but integrated taste, dry, strawy, grainy. Good mouthfeel, full, smooth and "concerted".
