Jun 13, 2008 Bottle from Tuckers Maltings. Pours a dark orange with a light tan head. Aroma is lightly sweet and grainy with a note of dark toasty bread. Taste is husky grain, bready dough, and crystal malt. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with moderate, lively carbonation.

May 20, 2008 Bottle from Utobeer. Plain malty beer with a rocky, slightly yellow head over an orange-brown body. Fugacious foam. Bready malts to the nose followed by a taste of herbs, wet forest and suggestions of earthy malts. Rather strange flavour and a bit vapid (Tromsø, 10.05.2008).

May 14, 2008 Bottle sample at a beer festival in kibbutz Ma’abarot, May ’08. Clear amber with a medium, quickly-diminishing beige head. Aroma of toasted malt, some caramel, light fruitiness and hoppy hints. Sweetish malty flavor, rather toasty, with nutty hints and a pretty bitter finish with nice hoppiness. Medium-bodied. Not bad.
