Bottle at home, big thanks to Mr Pink after winning his Free Beer Quiz, 15/05/18. Clear rich golden copper with a well presented off white head that retains well. Nose is biscuit, stewed fruits, light spice, good oaty vibe, bready. Taste comprises bready malts, faint spice, orange peel, toasted grains, oatmeal bread. Medium bodied, soft massaging carbonation, semi drying close with mellow bitterness. Decent stuff, comes over a bit like a Zwickel in some respects !

Flaske (thanks, Cimbasso!) delt med Ovesen ombord pรฅ Fridtjofen: klar, mรธrk kobbergylden med flott skum som varer. Kjeks, malt, toffee, urter i aroma og smak. Vegetal bitterhet, ganske lang ettersmak. Slank og meget lettdrikkelig.

500ml bottle: BBD 18th Oct 18. Shared with my wife at home on 26th Apr 17, Leffe badged chalices being the vessels we used. Golden bodied, clean and clear, wispy white head that soon left the scene. Initial sniff and sip was encouraging, but the beer went down hill pretty swiftly. The biscuity malts and mild citrus nose seemed to turn a little metallic, as did the taste, what flavours remained appeared bland and uninteresting. Sad really because I do not like โkickingโ the small guy normally.
