2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
0.33l bottle from Systembolaget Passagen, Sweeden. This is a clear light red-amber one with a big and lasting fluffy off-white head. The aroma is really malty-wort like with Belgian yeast tones and hints of candy and some slightly sour berries. It’s lively to average carbonated and it has a mild oily to stingy mouthfeel. Nice enough flavors as well; lots of Belgian yeast, some banana-sweetness, it has a near metallic-pungent bitterness that I don’t care to much for, but all in all this was completely average. Hints of alcohol in the finish and aftertaste. 20.01.2012
