Draught at Lord Nelson, Copenhagen. Cloudy orange red coloured with a small off white head. Aroma of fruits, caramel, hops and pine needles. Fruity flavour of hops and caramel with notes of flowers, pine needles and grape fruits. Dry hoppy finish.

Draft. A deep red beer with a thin lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and strong notes of berries among them cowberries. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of berries as well as lighter notes of bread and a touch of acidity, leading to a dry and slightly tart finish. The body is thin - I guess due to a low level of residual sugar.

From tap at Lord Nelson. Pours hazy brown with a lacing white head. Aroma is smooth fruity and light caramel malty - slight roasted. Hoppy fruity flavour, mild yeasty - lending towards some Belgian yeast without really getting there. Solid caramel malt base providing a good level of sweetness to the fruity hops and yeast. Lingering fruity hops and mild yeasty into the finish. Nice one.
