kovika91 (19) - HUNGARY - MAY 22, 2012
0,5l bottle from Brittish Store, Budapest. Clear, light amber color with medium, off-white head. Light aroma, roasted malty with caramel. Some bitter spicy hoppy flavour also appears. Fresh, medium bitter taste. Light to medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation. Caramel finish. Very drinkable, light one. Not very special, but delicious. Good for everyday-drinking.

Malty aroma certainly in its taste, but it also has a decent bitterness to it too.

rozsoma (265) - HUNGARY - APR 9, 2012
Smooth one. A very good representative of the Bitter type. A refreshing ale with soft carbonation, bit sweet malty, bready, citruses. Beautiful amber body which is a bit thick, but the aftertaste is very longlasting.

JaKeAFC (201) - ITALY - FEB 1, 2012
50cl bottle, 1.95€, 3.9%. Clear amber beer with big beige to off-white head, mostly lasting. Light roasted malts, some herbs and raisins with a subtle smokey note. Fairly dry, sweetish with an appleish acidic tone and a minimal orange peel bitterness. Light bodied, soft, slightly creamy but mostly watery texture. Soft to medium carbonation. Overall weak (as expected for a 3.9%).

chriso (7063) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - DEC 29, 2011
500ml bottle, BBE Oct 12, drunk in December 2011. Copper colour. Mainly nutty malt in the aroma. Not much hop character evident. Some cardboard notes. More of the same on the palate. Touches of fruit. Fairly dry, light mouthfeel. Palatable but unremarkable. Pretty much as expected.
