A hazy light orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet yeast combined with notes of fruit. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of yeast as well as a touch of wheat, the end is dry and yeasty combined with a delicate bitterness.

(Bottle 75 cl) Pours pilsener golden with a slight haze and a small, off-white head. Malty aroma with a vague tartness. Medium-bodied and quite malty with some sweetness and an interesting and different lager flavour. Lightly bitter finish. 210506

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.

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.

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.
