Bottle. Cloudy dark yellow color with a average off-white head. Aroma is moderate hoppy and yeasty, brown sugar, fruit. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and light bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

A slightly unclear orange beer with a fantastic head. The aroma is primarily fruity but with soft wheat tones. Lovely flavor: orange, sweet, soft, round, wheat, and a sting of alcohol. Ending on a filling sweet note rather than bitterness. A great beer.

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark golden beer with a fairly small head. Extremely aromatic with distinct, fruity notes. The ale-yeast adds some wonderful, almost exotic notes. Some sweetness, but not cloying. Subdued, short bitterness. Yeast sediment at the botom. 120602

33 cL bottle. Pours golden and hazy yellow and with an off-white head. Light hoppy and caramel malty aroma. Fruity and yeasty flavours, slight sweet and with a solid caramel malt note. Nice fruity, slight hoppy, caramel malt sweetness and minor alcohol warming finish. Nice.

Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Clear amber, small head. Papery malt aroma. Sweet and mustardy with crisp, rather clean mouthfeel. Some almondy yeast, low bitterness. A streamlined, well drinkable rather balanced ale.

Draught. Dark golden/pale amber colour, minor white head. Strong banana and malts in aroma, also other fruits noteable (orange and passionfruit). Flavour is strong caramel and banana with hints of malts and some flowery hops becoming present in finish.

Bottled. Clear yellow coloured with a small white head. Aroma of fruits and caramel. Sweet fruity flavour with notes of caramel and spices.

Draught. OK spicy aroma. Clear golden colour. Very small, but creamy white head. Flavour is spicy and vinous, but actually a little watery. Slighlty sweet and with a vinous alcohol aftertaste.
