| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 22, 2006 330ml bottle. Red/Amber dark color, nice white head.
Sweet with a bit of bitterness that I associated with campari, and some sourness. Ok mouthfeel.
Nice beer, but a little pricey over here... KnutAlbert (3217), Oslo, Norway
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 29, 2006 Canned version. It is bitter, almost sour, and sweet at the same time. There are lots of fruit and flowers in the taste - peaches sums it up. Alcohol content of 7,5% and it probably needs that to draw out the complex flavours. It needs the fizz in the can, too, when it gets flatter towards the bottom of the glass, it loses its balance.
