Clear amber beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light, mildly dry and has a decent fine minerally crispness. The malts are inevitably thin but bring a nice biscuit and slightly singed caramel flavour. Ripe fruits before a touch of brighter citrus. A light crisp pine before a crisp and semi dry finish. Shows some mild esters in the aftertaste. Crisp clean and drinkable.

Bottle from Russell & Newnes, Aldeburgh. Golden with a small head. Pleasantly hoppy-sweet, with the latter more gentle sugars than any direct flavours, but good all the same.

Notater fra en aldeles utmerket kveld på Våland, i lag med Egil, Johan, Camilla, Marianne og Fia. 0,5 flaske fra importkofferten: brunsvart med fint skum som varer. Nydelig aroma av friskbrent espresso, 70%-sjokolader og furunål, pluss et hint av tobakk og salt lakris. Smaken følger opp og forsterker inntrykkene. Tørr og uvanlig lang ettersmak med solid bitterhet. Imponerende for et 4,2-øl, jeg hadde elegant greid en håndpumpet pint av denne.
