Amber colour, medium white head. Caramel malts in the aroma. Flavour has sweet malts with some hops. Not a typical bitter.

VictorStr (311) - Helsingborg, SWEDEN - APR 6, 2013
Brunt grumlig, lite mer fluff fluff skum så hade det blivit en femma på AP. Sen var det inget mer, svag aroma och smak. Lite sötma och ytterst lite beska. Ingen favorit direkt.

Cool_Bond (474) - Eskilstuna, SWEDEN - MAR 29, 2013
Thin scent. The taste is very strange and weird. The aftertaste is it off but not too much. A peculiar bitter beer this is.

Herbs, hops and fruits. Bit bitter with medium carbo. A bit above average and in the end quite drinkable.

McTapps (1469) - Ruhrgebiet, GERMANY - MAR 29, 2013
Clear deep amber colour with low head and medium body. Nose of bitter malt. Taste of burnt caramel, low malt, bitter hops and grass. Some lemon fruits hints and bitter finish. Easy to drink.

Viper666 (2654) - Saint-Hubert, Quebec, CANADA - FEB 24, 2013
Bouteille 500ml (mais bue en 2005 donc ça devrait être cette version...). De couleur cuivrée et claire. Nez de caramel aux notes rôties, de biscuits, léger-moyen de houblon floral avec des toutes petites notes fruitées (agrumes) et de noix. Moyennement ronde et moyennement pétillante avec une texture huileuse et légèrement aqueuse. Très léger goût de fruit (agrumes) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi très rapidement d’un goût de caramel légèrement sucré et rôti avec des notes de biscuits puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon floral et des traces de noix. Post-goût moyen-court et un peu sec très légèrement amer de houblon floral avec quelques traces de noix.

fellebag (318) - Oslo, NORWAY - NOV 17, 2012
Can 33cl. Pours a creamy white white head. Medium to thin body. Clear pale ale color. Aroma of plum and some toffee. Taste of peach ice tea (as for looks) and a drop of chalky grainy malt. Nothing extraordinary. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

440ml can. Pours copper with thin head. Sweet and slightly floral aroma. Tastes slightly sweet with moderate malt and some herbal notes with mild bitterness. Light carbonation. Not bad but not great.
