Bottle, 22oz, courtesy of MiP. It’s a hazy, amber beer with a finger-thick beige head. The aroma has a slightly sourish berry touch, but it’s mostly caramel fruityness. Quite fizzy mouthfeel, full-bodied. The flavor has some berries, caramel and a sour touch. Quite alcoholic, giving a certain warmth, especially towards the end. Rather boring at first, but gets better after a while, even though it’s too alcoholic. 100814
