Hazy brown beer. Tired caramel malt and some mild hop. Low carbonation. This beer tastes knackered!

50cl bottle. The very dark glass together with the violet label makes the beer look pretty awesome. What’s inside is clear golden pale amber, smooth offwhite head. aroma is caramel, some cheesy sort of sourness, very faint flowery note. flavor is sweet caramelly, honey and flowers, blue berries, mild fruity bitterness, more spicy hoppy bitterness towards the end. Works pretty well, and for a bitter, this one have some more flavors to examine but just bitterness.
