<i>Bottle &#40;33 cl&#41; from Systembolaget</i>. Hazy orange with a medium white head. Fruity, earthy, and yeasty aroma. Moussy mouthfeel. Quite dry. Good but not very interesting.

Bottle, bought &#64; Ølbutikken, Cph.<br /> Pours hazy orange with a fine, creamy, lightly yellow head. Aroma has oranges, some hay and barnyard. Yeast and light overripe apple as well. Medium carbonation, a bit light mouthfeel. Flavour is mildly tart, good caramel, some apples again. Light spiciness in the warming and surprisingly hoppy finish.

courtesy of Per Forsgren - cloudy red-orange colour with a little persistent white foam and a nice lacing; aroma of tangerines and candi sugar; tart and acidic, robust carbonation and quite sweet; dry and bitter finish with lingering fruity and slightly spicy notes

Dark amber. Big frothy head. Stale flavor, but sweet enough to be drinkable. Fruity and nutty.

Bottle at La Porte Noire in Brussels. Amber color with big, white head that fades to persistent layer. Slightly sourish, cidery nose, grainy like speculoos cookies. Tart, cidery flavor with caramel malt and dusty-hop backdrop. Fairly dry with lightly bitter aftertaste. Interesting and light enough to refresh. Love to try it on tap.
