Burk. Något suddig identitet, på randen till uttryckslös. "Hämmad". I grunden är det inget fel på ölen, alla önskvärda ingredienser är på plats. Lite mer intensitet vore däremot att föredra. Plus för härligt gräddigt skum.

Bottle. Exceptionally floral, sweet fruity cloying aroma. Murky dirty red hued brown color. Very dry, maybe slightly astringent malt body with some floral hop notes in the finish that resonate. Remains dry and mildly bitter on the palate. Medium, foamy feel. Seems a little brash at first for a bitter but I found myself enjoying this.

(bottle) Hazy, orange to amber colour with a short and slightly tanned foamy head. Moderately sweet malty aroma with lemon-fruity, minimal woody hops and a touch of sweat. Bitter flavour with a subtle fruity acidity, light bodied with a crispy, slightly fizzy carbonation. Dry mouthfeel with a soft malty base with moderately fruity and slightly woody hops; bitter finish with a light malty sweetness and a tinge of licorice and lemon in the aftertaste. Easy-going and pretty simple Bitter (19.II.09).

Amber colour. Aroma of malts and some hops. The flavour is sweet malts, fruits and bitter. Light to medium-bodied and creamy mouthfeel. Nothing special but very drinkable.

Dark amber, tiny beige head. Straightforward caramel malty nose, toffee, little wood and subtle english hops. Flavor is caramel, little hops, honey and raisins, mildly piney finish. Light to medium bodied, easy loose carbonation. Alright bitter, nothing really to remember.

Bottle (500ml). Poured amber with a good sized, dense, frothy white head which lasted very well. A earthy/fruity hop aroma with sweet caramel malts, nuts, mandarin, marmalade and light notes of gooseberries. Flavor was a mild earthy hop bitterness with sweet biscuity malts, buttery caramel, tangy orange citrus, light notes of pineapple and a dry/nutty finish. Light to medium bodied with medium carbonation, a dry/creamy mouthfeel, watery texture and a decent finish.
