3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
(Bottle 35,5 cl) Vintage 2006 at 9.0% ABV. Clear, amber golden with a small, off-white head. Very fresh aroma of pine needles. Full, sweetish body with lots of caramel and wonderful flavours of pines and citrus - almost soapy perfumy, but never unpleasant and sticky as it manages to retain quite some freshness. The bitterness is not overwhelming and only seems to awake rather late on the palate. Yummy. 191206

4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Hazy red-amber color; creamy head. Strong aroma, extremely malty in the beginning, balanced then by the wonderful hops, fruity; a touch of vanilla too, and pine needles. Good body structure, without being thick; malty flavor turning into toffee, enough sugars; well balanced by the powerful and aromatic hopping; light hop fruitness and some hop oils. Not being too sweet, it’s also not cloying. Wonderful.

Cloudy vibrant amber colour. Big fresh grassy, citrusy, slightly woody hop nose. Well-rounded flavours, lots of fruity, citrusy hops and clean pale malts. Certainly not one to blow minds, but very well-made and of universal appeal.
