Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Amber colour. Moderate malty and hopy slightly harsh aroma. Moderate bitter flavor. Average moderate bitter finish. Oily palate.

Bottle. A big, dense, off-white head forms over a more or less clear body, dark golden in color. Nice lacings. The aroma is mostly on the hoppy side, grassy, piney and lighlty orangey, with some maltyness in the far back. Some maltyness in the flavor, but it’s a quite dry one, maybe a bit heavily carbonated, and with the hops dominating, as in the aroma. Pleasant bitterness both initially and in the end. A quite tasteful one, not your average lager beer, that’s for sure. 130510
