A hazy orange beer with a disappearing off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of alcohol and oranges. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, sirup, as well as hops.

Bottled, thanks marbles! Deep golden. Honey aroma. Sweet and vinous, sparkling and fresh. Medium bodied and refreshing. An interesting experiment.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear, deep golden with a small, off-white head. Surprisingly neutral aroma - pehaps with a vague whiff of pale malt. Full body with a high degree of honey sweetness. But I really need something to scratch the surface here - it’s simply too smooth and vague. Fortunately the alcohol is fairly well hidden, as there’s no balancing bitterness. 191206

Light bronze; sweet and spicy. Herbal, winey, sharply dry finish; caramelly malt; alcohol flavours. Tastes good, but I doubt I could drink too much at any one time.
