Clear copper, big cream coloured rocky head that doesnt last. Toffee, caramel and orange nose. Flavour has a lovely smooth maltiness with highlights of orange and biscuit. Mouthfeel is sublime, smooth as you like, robust, with a touch of dryness in the finish. Flat carbonation. Very nice.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 Moebbels (44) - FINLAND - MAY 4, 2013
Pours a dark golden color with white foam that trails on the glass. Nose is fresh with citrus fruits, herbs and malty sweetness. Taste is well balanced, starting with honey and molasses followed by a nice bitterness from the hops. Carbonation is on the light side. Overall a well balanced and enjoable brew.
