A dark amber beer with a huge lazing light brown head. The aroma is sweet and very fruity and hoppy, Cascade like with notes of grass and grapefruit. The flavor is very sweet with a good caramel background and a nice hoppy topping. Nice one.

[Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm] Clear copper red, small head. Aroma of rye bread and lychee. Sweet and full bodied with clean mouthfeel. Plenty of malt with evident notes of bread and phenols. Alcohol plays a significant part. Lingering salty lychee-like finish. Very solid.

22 cL bottle. Clear and golden amber with a lacing white head. Hoppy and slight woody aroma. Vague citrusy note too. Smooth and dry malty base flavour with a distinct and solid hops spiced bitter flavour on top. Dry and bitter finish with a dark fruity note and a solid wooden base into the far finish.
