0.5 l bottle. Amber color with small head. Honey, biscuity malt, fruity esters, fruity and resiny hops, marmelade, orange and nuts in the aroma. Sweetish, perfumed, honeyish, biscuity flavor with notes of fruity hops. Bitterness is most notable in the finish. Easy and harmless.

Bottle. Pours amber with a off-white head. Aroma is sweet and malty with light fruit, a hint of hops and a touch of caramel. Flavor is sweet malts, fruit, toffee and a bit of caramel with a little bitterness and a dry finish.

Pours a nice shade of amber with a modest head... Sweet malty aroma, subtle fruitiness... Slightly fruity taste with sweet malts... Decent offering, a bit overpriced in the US....

(500ml bottle) First of all, I love the bottle this comes in. It seems almost regal in a way. Pours dark amber with a white head that lasted. Smell is of fresh red fruit and malt, quite lively smelling. Tastes subtle yet recognisable sweet fruit with a malty backbone. Not overly hoppy although a little bitterness creeps in towards the end. Had a fairly rich flavour and alcohol taste for it’s ABV, and a prickly carbonation. A pretty solid drinkable bitter.
