3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle (330ml). Oily-looking gold pour, clear and refractive, with an average off-white head (3+). Aroma of honey, mild alcohol and gentle grassy/floral bitterness. Tasted like bitter burnt dried leaves, dry yet still sweetly malty. Average-bodied, the burnt character does linger on - a decent beer, a very strange blend of honey and char though.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle at Bishops Arms, Karlstad. Pours an amber color with a small one finger, white head. Aroma is floral, honey, toffee, malty and fruity. Flavour is quite sweet with a dominating honey character but also very floral with notes of resin and hops. A great, bitter finish. This beer has a very special character, which probably comes from the guarana. A bit apple like in the taste. Very smooth on the palate, a bit creamy and filling. Very drinkable and interesting brew.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from a market in London. Pours a hazy orange color with a thin, frizzy head. Light citrusy aroma. Some malt and caramel as well. Odd taste for what I expected. Mix between a light spice and a lot of hop. Actually, seem like a double IPA with some spice to it.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
<i>Bottle at The Cockney Pub, Århus</i>
Nice amber color; the few bubbles on the surface are similar to the head of a cask ale. The aroma is quite simple, but the flavor is better: some sweet caramel, a touch of honey, very light herbs, and good hopping, partially fruity and resiny. Very pleasant.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled. Clear amber with a small, bubbly head. Herby-flowery, lavender-spicy aroma with coca cola.Sweetish, caramely-malty base with fruitiness, nutty-aromatic hops, and flowery herbs. Light to medium body with low carbonation. Interesting in a way, and not too sweet - but do we really need so many ingredients in a beer?
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Amber with a little head. Strong as weird aromas, herbal,spices, hoppy, wood. Flavour is quite bitter but balanced. Stands out.
