Best before 11.08.2006. Bright red with a small, quickly diminishing white head. Interesting aroma of whole grains, loads of caramel, light fruitiness, piney hops, light grapefruit, light spice (rye-ish?) and a nice, subtle roasted character. The body is exactly what you’d expect-neither too thin and boring, nor too thick and sticky. The flavor is well balanced but a little boring. The malt is rather robust with a nice sweet and a lightly toasted element. The hops have a nice piney, lightly citric element, but the bitterness is conspicuously absent. Another tasty, drinkable session beer--not mindblowing but well made and easily consumed.

This is a beer i have to taste again, cascadehops barley and wheat malt and hops.

Bottle. Pours clear dark amber with small white head. Aroma is flowers, straw and iron. Taste is light sweet, medium to heavy bitter and faint acidic. Body is watery with crisp carbonation. Finish is short and sweet with hints of caramel and citrus.

(50 cl bottle from supermarket) Pours a clear, copper with medium off-white head, good lacing and retention. Aroma is mostly malty with a faint hint of hops. Oily texture, lively carbonation, medium body and a short, bitter finish. Taste is mildly sweet. Alright but not that interesting. Girlfriend says: "I’m not really inspired."

07.09.2011. 0,5l Bottle. Dark brown colour with dense off-white head. Aroma is malty with rather rich flavours of malt. There is also some malt sweetness. There is not so much bitterness and the beer is very smooth with a soft mouthfeel. Aftertaste is dominated by soft flavours of malt with moderate smooth bitterness.

500ml bottle, aroma is nice cascade hops...caramel, dark fruits ...nice red brown... with light brown head.... taste is very nice cascade, light bitter hops...light body ... lively fresh mouthful ..... All i all.... an nice beer ! smile :)

Bottle. Pours a dark copper/amber color with a eggshell colored head. Aroma is of cascade hops, with lots of citrus, some peach and also some caramel maltiness. The flavor is again quite citrussy with notes of peaches, some light sweet darker fruits, caramel and sweet malt. The body is medium with a slightly dry mouthfeel. Overall a cheap and pretty solid brew.

500 ml bottle. 6.5%. From Denmark. Thanks Jere!
