A hazy red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is caramelic and very hoppy. The flavor is sweet with lots of caramel, and also quite a lot of hops giving it notes of grass, but it also contains notes of cowberries, and it has a dry end.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear, amber golden with a dense, beige head leaving laces. Aroma of caramel and aroma hops. Medium body with swettish accents of caramel and then a fairly hoppy finish takes over. Nice. 191206
