50cl bottle. One of the better bitters I´ve tasted. Poured a large head, smooth, with quite dry hoppy aftertaste. Recommended!

Sweetish malty aroma. Amber with large head. Flavour is caramel, raisins, apples and alcohol. Medium body. Finishes with hoppy bitterness. Not bad.

50cl bottle, as shown. Slightly hazy dark copper colour; medium, quickly disintegrating off-white head with some lacing on the glass. Mild, nutty aroma of malt, with some dark fruit in the background. Medium-bodied, with low carbonation, creamy (but not quite oily) mouth feel. Smooth notes of warm, roasted malt, black cherries and orange peel create a refreshing sweet-and-sour taste. Short, medium bitter finish, dry hoppy aftertaste. Certainly not for those who like their bitter with a capital "B", this should nonetheless rate highly as a smooth-drinking session beer.

It poured a dark sligthly foggy golden copper liquid with a medium sized foam that left allot of lacing. IT had a scent of grassy hops (dry hopped?), flowers and fresh cut grass. It was smooth and tasted watery with a light body. But it also had a taste of flowers, caramell, fudge. Very easy to drink.

Nice bitter here. Good aroma of malts and some slight nuttiness, good smooth mouthfeel. Very drinkable. Only complaint is that it’s slightly watery.

Dark amber with a scumy looking head. Has a light aroma of malt. FIizzy with a hoppy malty taste. Not bad might be better with a little less fizz.
