bottle, courtesy of jaghana - merci! Hazy pale yellow, large white head. Malty, highly carbonated, herbal accents and some hops in the finish.

Syrlig med en liten sötma. Nästan ingen beska. Liten jästfällning och doft av äpplen och aprikos. Bättre och bättre efter att ha stått ett tag i källaren.

Tart and slightly sharp aroma of yeast, citrus and coriander, has a light tone of detergent. Fairly crisp taste of citrus and yeast that turns into a dry and very bitter aftertaste. Reminiscent of detergent! I can not understand the relatively high grading of this beer! For me, this is a really disgusting beer!

Hazy, pale yellow with a medium whithe head. Fruity with flowery tones. Malt, fruit, spices and hops. Full body with a long, complex bittersweet finish.

Bottle 33cl, a cloudy golden amber beer with huge head and good lacing. Nose is nice on agrumes, sweetness and yeast. Aroma is fruity and honey like with a nice yeast presence, sweet agrumes notes with less acidity, some cassis ans licorice notes. A pleasant ale, interesting, peppery hops at the finish.
