A red beer with a beige head. The aroma is sweet malty, the flavor slightly sour and malty. A boring beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Beautiful dark amber with a small, fine almost Guinness-like head. Very high pressure in this bottle making the beer flood. Presumably unfiltered. Very marked hop bitterness atop a malty base. Perhaps a bit too bitter for me. 251003
