Bottled. Pasteurised.
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.

A hazy red-orange beer with a huge light brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and dust. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of toffee, but also some fruity notes of oranges and a nutty dry finish.

(Bottle 50 cl) Very pretty, clear amber with a dense, lasting head. Lovely fresh floral aroma. Rather light with some nutty notes. Not overly bitter - the hops add mostly aroma. Very classical bitter. 060601

Bottled. Hazy dark amer, firm, rocky head. The aroma is all about butterscotch. Really sweet and caramelly with that lovely Hook Norton malt character hidden in an abundance of sugar & toffee. Some grassy bitterness that tries to cope with the butterscotch. As a big fan of this brewer I’m disappointed, but still it’s a decent brew.

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.

Bottle at KØ07. Green apple aroma. Clear greyish brown colour. The flavour is OK, spicy with a hint of apple. Thin mouthfeel.
