COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A traditional British bitter with an African twist. Home toasted caramel malts, South African barley malt and loads of freshly picked Southern promise hops went into this unique ale. It is a complex beer for its modest strength with a refreshingly dry finish. This beer is unfiltered and matured and refermented in the bottle. Pour carefully to avoid disturbing the sediment.

omhper (17466) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JUL 13, 2011
Bottled. Hazy orange, small head. A wealth of peachy hops greets the nose. Dry with crisp mouthfeel and light body. Pleasantly hop aromatic with plenty of strawberry and peach. Long bitterness. An excelleent thirst quencher!

Bragesnak (4556) - Aarhus, DENMARK - APR 20, 2011
From SkjoldBurne, Aarhus, DK. Bottled, 190411. Orange-amber with white head. Aroma of spices and citrus. Flavor with orange, malt, hop spices and fruit. Amazing for only 3.8 vol%.

hirigalzkar (1820) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JUL 27, 2011
Bottle. I don’t really like the smell. Metallic cheapish lager kind of nose, when pouring. It somewhat grows when getting warmer (orange, peach etc.). The taste is incredible refreshing though. Crisp and flowery hops. Nice rich malt profile - caramely but also bready. Dry finish. Big bodied for a 3,8ABV.

Kristall-König (1843) - Oldenburg, GERMANY - SEP 23, 2011
Angenehm meloniger, hopfiger Geruch. Süßlicher Antrunk. Alsbald hopfig und bitter-aromatisch, süffig-fließend. Im Abgang zusätzlich leichte Malzsprenkel. Bittert trocken nach. Sehr schön.

Jaksmart (357) - Aalborg, DENMARK - MAR 31, 2011
Bottle, courtesy of Enjoyit. Golden yellow color, almost no head. Aroma has a nicely strong hop profile, big malt as well. Caramel and yeast dominate the side notes. Taste is strong, considering the low alcohol, and boasts a very nice and fresh hoppy bitterness to compliment the slightly yeasty sweetness. A faint bit of sourness to spice things up.

jolo (766) - Uppsala, Sweden, SOUTH AFRICA - DEC 11, 2011
UPDATED: JAN 3, 2012 Bottle 550ml. A cloudy orange-golden colour with a medium high, good lacing, off-white head. An aroma of malt, citrus and hops. The taste is light sweet and medium bitter. A medium body, oily texture, average carbonation and a long, light bitter finish. A fresh a really nice bitter.

MiP (12136) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - JUL 4, 2011
Bottle, KØ11. Weak refreshing hop aroma. Hazy copper colour. Small white head. Good body. The flavour has some good white bread, a little spicy hop, chalky bitterness. Well-rounded.

rane (779) - Nibe, DENMARK - APR 7, 2011
Bottle. Hazy amber with dense offwhite head. Aroma more hoppy than usual bitters, grassy notes and quite sweet. Nice and subtle. Taste initial bitter, then sweet and malty with some bitterness in the finish. I would say this is more like an ESB. A nice beer with high drinkability and quite true to the style. A session beer.

thewolf (9860) - Kolding, DENMARK - APR 15, 2011
Bottle, bought @ Havnens Vin & Tobak, Vejle.
Hazy orange-amber with a medium, frothy, off-white head. Aroma has toasted caramel, earthy hops, light grassy and mild apricot. Medium carbonation with small bubbles and a good dryness. Flavour has lots of earthy hops, some metallic notes, light sweet caramel. Lingering mild bitterness. Very fresh and drinkable - especially for the ABV.
