Drinkability: 5/10
Score: **/4

A hazy orange-brown beer with a thin lazing orange head. The aroma is buttery combined with notes of diacethyl, while the flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, but after a short while the butter and diacethyl hits You. Brewin flaw or poorly cleaned lines.

Poured into a hazed plastic cup in a dark room, so appearance is difficult to judge. Diacetyl and metallic bitterness. Mabye a little nutty malt.
