2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20Bottle at Chriso’s post GBBF one night. Syrupy malt on aroma. Hazy amber colour. Way too syrupy in mouth. Very spritzy though which was an odd combination. Faintish hop on finish. Not great.

A bit hazy amber color, small off-white head. Fruity, but also cellary nose, some leafy hops. A bit fruity, pale malty, some mango-glue flavors. Probably not really fresh anymore.

Strange that everyone else had this beer at Kaisla, right? Brown-orange, hazy copper-carrot body, small white head. Cognac, alcohol on the nose. Taste bitter, a bit of "bottle mud" in the first tasting. Later, smoother notes of juniper with a medium metallic finish.
