Bottled at RBESG Grand Tasting 2010. An unclear golden beer wtith a thin orangey head. The aroma has notes of malt, yeast, caramel, and fruits. The flavor is very sweet - too sweet for my liking with notes of phenols, malt, and caramel, leading to a dry and spicy finish. The body is light.

Hazy orange with a medium beige head. Malty aroma with grassy hops. Toasted malt on the tongue along with hops and fruit. Finished dry and bitter.

0.5 l bottle at Petalax Beer Festival 2010. Hazy yellow brown color, a gusher. Sweetish, toffeish and berryish aroma. Toffeish, fruity and yeasty flavor with hint of plastic and bitter-fruity finish. Too yeasty.

On tap as Sommer Prolog. Cloudy amber with a small white head. Weak malty aroma with hints of fruity yeast and herbal hops. Sweetish fruity flavour
