Dark amber color; almost no head. Mild aroma of toffee, hops; light rosehips, citrus fruits, very light earthy touch. Caramel flavor, soft mouthfeel because of the low carbonation, getting a bit astringent to the end, and metallic. Medium-strong bitterness, the hops are a bit resiny. Pleasant, the aroma is nice, the flavor is more common.
