Deep copper in colour with a creamy, pillowy off white head, showing decent carbonation without over doing it. A light floral fruity note precedes a medium bodied and well balanced beer that finishes slightly bitter, abrupt and with a hint of sourness, at 8.5% it has the alcoholic kick without the overpowering alcoholic flavour.

Sweet and fresh aroma, malty, hoppy, caramel. Nice head. Well balanced taste. A bit harsh palate. Interesting beer, but there’s something missing.

Cidery apple aroma with a bit of caramel, cherry. Light brown appearance with tan head. Flavor of toasted almonds, cherries, tart apple, brown sugar. Palate is bubbly. Nice.

At a tasting, thanks Oren, big stable thick head, hazy rusty orange to light red colour, flowery perfumy aroma with some white fruits, malt and hay. malty bready flavour with a touch to strong bitterness and just a touch of sweetnees to counteract but not enough, a little unbalanced.

Bottle at a tasting. Thanks Oren. Clear amber with a white head. Aroma of malt, caramel hints and some fruitiness. Sweetish flavor with malt, a bit of fruitiness, alcohol and mild bitterness in the finish. Medium-bodied. Not bad and doesn’t feel like 8.5% but lacks some character.

At a tasting, thanks Oren, pours an orange with a nice head, aroma of malt, bread and biscuit, flavors of caramel, mushroom, some herby hops and yeast, medium body, ok.
