Bottle (50 cl) from Systembolaget. Hazy amber with a creamy off-white head. Nice fruity and caramelly aroma with peaches, along with floral and spicy hops. Medium bodied and soft, feels like it carries more than 5.2 % abv. Nicely balanced with a bitter ending.

Beautiful amber with a nice head. The aroma has notes of malt and citrus. The flavour is sweetish with notes of honey and fruit, and the finish has a good bitterness with a lot of citrus. I cannot seem to find the rye.
