Bottle@home Apperance: Golden orange with a thin foam and lots of sticky lacing. Aroma: Caramel, Citric notes, Hops, Rum. Flavor: Orange, Caramel, Dried fruit, Spices and alcohol. Palate: Very sweet with a modest bitterness at the end. This beer is a bit too sweet for my liking but it’s still very drinkable.

750 ml 06 bottle. Pours a very yellow color with a tiny white head. Smell is sweet with citrus. Tastes exactly how it smells. A good beer

Bottled. A pale golden beer with a huge light orangey head. The aroma is a bit on the light side with notes of hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, caramel, and fruit - especially oranges. The alcohol leaves a burn in the cheeks and the throat.

Bottle thanks to AndyReynolds. An interesting beer, for a lager. Not what I expected from the taste. Fairly sweet and has some decent notes of citrus. It’s hard to think of it as a pilsner though.

2006 bottle, 2-3 years old. Quite malty aroma, slightly vinous, hint of dried fruit. Cloudy orange colour. The flavour has some vanilla, dried fruit. A bit oxidized, but has the right level of it. The alcohol is there, but does not take over. Good.
