Bottle. It’s a hazy, orange beer with a small, off-white head. Very cellary nose with some rubber and yeast, as well as a decent hoppyness and some hazelnut notes. It’s nicely carbonated, medium bodied and dry. Bitter flavor, especially in the finish. Some malts and a touch of yeast too. Overall, a quite decent beer, at least after you get used to the strange aroma. 110819
