Pours an unimpressive clear copper with a thin diminishing head. Smells of caramel, almond, and granny smith apples. It’s got an average malty taste with a hint of hops.

This beer was poured into a snifter with no head at all. There was a strong nutty smell to it and it has an amber color to it. It tastes like an almond nutty beer very good though.

Pours a light amber color, thin foamy head. Average beer, nothing too special about this, but I wasn’t bad at all. Semi sweet and smooth finish.

(bottle, from bierkoning - thanks!) Clear, amber colour with a short, but persistent off-white foamy head. Sweet toast-malty with aromatic notes of caramel and cacao. Moderately sweet flavour, medium body, smooth carbonation. Toast-malty taste with caramel, cacao, light notes of liquorice and subtle fruity notes, getting only a bit stronger towards the finish, turning out to be also slightly nutty, moderately sweet with a light bitterness. Okay, easy going.

(33 cl bottle at The Rover, Göteborg) Clear copper to brown color, fluffy tan head. Sweet grainy and fruity scent. Sweet yeasty and metallic taste. Smooth mouthfeel. Low bitterness. A bit spicy aftertaste.

Bottle 33clnus. Dark amber to light brown in color, very small white head. Aroma: hops, malts. Taste bitter, honey ?; hops, little sweet. Not so bad.

Lots of toffee and some buttery popcorn in the aroma. Dark copper body with a light to medium palate. Light toffee flavors, watery, with some burnt popcorn in the aftertaste. Not good.

light brown appearance that is very thin looking with a slight head. the flavor is lacking with a bitter slightly malty flavor. no flavor takes the forefront and it is not a good beer at all
