Small head that disappears very quickly. Golden colour. Slightly sour aroma that can also be found in the taste. The aftertaste is quite similar to apple cider.

330 mL bottle. Pours orange amber with an off-white head. Aroma has lots of caramel, toffee, and green grape, raisin, very strong. Flavor has the green grape/raisin as well as the caramel and toffee, with a toasty biscuit foundation, bubble gum, and cloves. Certainly a great beer.

NosirIwont (1537) - Aalborg Vestby, DENMARK - NOV 17, 2010
Bottle. Pours a hazy, deep golden amber with an off-white head. Sweetish and a bit tart aroma with fruity notes – berries and dark fruits – on a malty background. Flavour is malty and fruity – again dark fruits, but no berries – and with a sugary sweetness. Slightly tart and with a slight bitterness as well. Dry, grassy finish with a malty and fruity sweetness. Lingering sweetness with a wooden note. A tad too much carbonation. 17.11.10.

Mad_Ferret (460) - SWEDEN - OCT 28, 2010
UPDATED: FEB 14, 2011 Bottle. Hazy orange with a big good looking bright beige head. Aroma is yeasty and sweet with notes of dried fruit, pomerans, clove, some almond paste and spice. Taste is thick and candyish yeasty sweet with citrus, fermented apples, coriander and spice. Sweet, yeasty, acidic and spicy without much bitterness. Body is first sweet and big just to falter a bit towards the end. Carbonation is quite smooth and tickeling. On the sweet side but still nice and tasty.
