75 cL bottle, beautiful bottle with a nice print directly on the bottle. Pours slight cloudy yellow with a slowly collapsing white head. Dry bitterhops aroma with a mild cornish and citrus note. Smooth flavour with a light fruity accent and mild sweet corn note. Goes into a light bitterness in the finish - still matched with a nice sweet cornish and light citrus note. Good balance.

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JAN 22, 2008
Canned. Pale golden, brief head. Fruity nose. Sweet and thick. Fruit syrup and peppery alcohol is there. medium bodied with little substance and no bitterness. Drinkable for it’s size - but that’s about it.

oh6gdx (15510) - Vasa, FINLAND - AUG 7, 2008
Bottled. Golden colour, not much of a head. Aroma is alcohol, some fruity sweetness as well as mild notes of earth. Flavour is quite much the same, in a bad way, as the beer is totally out of balance and also quite harsh.
