A well balanced and full bodied beer demonstrating fruitiness, with the Crystal Malt content being distinctive. The hoppy mouth gives way to a sweeter finish.

Pours darker amber with a soft tan head. Toasted malts with a soft fruity hop finish. Lightly mineral quality to the palate. I enjoyed the flavor to this, the warm caramel flavor paired nicely with the fruity finish.

Botella. Clear deep amber colour, rather short lasting head. Aroma of toasted malt, caramel and some ripe fruits. Good mouthfeel. The flavour has a mild caramel sweetness with a good toasty amltiness and a comfortable bitterness with fruits and a littlke herby touch. Nice!

Pour a rich deep dark amber with a huge creamy beige foam on top. Sweet crystal malt and slight hop aroma. Very rich malt profile, quite buttery. Toffee and and oranges is a good way to describe it. Bitter nutty finish that is has a long sweet aftertaste. The hops play a very good supporting roll in this beer. Dull palate with light sizzling carbonation, in style.

50 cL bottle. Pours deep orange/amber, clear, and with a lacing off-white head. Malty and overripe fruit aroma. Medium sweet malt flavour, goes somewhat dry and fruity towards the finish. Light bitterness accompanying the malt flavours into the far finish.

50cL bottle, courtesy of argo0. Thanks, Aaron! Pours a bright, clear orange-amber color; mostly headless, with a touch of oiliness and some slight bubbles at the perimeter. Fruity, sugary aroma; a touch sticky and medicinal and flabby. Medium mouthfeel: lightly carbonated; sticky malts and red fruits and sugar; not exceptionally complex, pretty sticky, and some cardboard / toasty malt notes. Medium finish, showing bitterness and stale malts.
