Bottled. An unclear orange beer with a huge brown head with stains of black. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of straw and caramel, and so is the flavor.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Hazy, amber golden with a gigantic, off-white head. Fruity aroma. Light-bodied with underlying, unclean notes of cheap candy. No bitterness. Quite unpleasant really. I sort of hope this was off. 291206
