A hazy orange beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of hops, grass, and fruit. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of toffe, and light notes of lemon and pine, leading an OK bitter end. A nice flavor, but a bit light.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, dark amber with a small, off-white head. Fresh, citrusy nose - and a touch of coffee(??). Medium body, very fruity with incredibly fresh, hoppy notes. Lightly hoppy finish. A very yummy beer indeed. 200606

Deep amber, reddish colour with a tan head. Malty aroma with notes of caramel and nuts and a light hoppyness. Light roasted malty flavor with a weak coffee bitterness and a faint caramel sweetness. Dry, light bitter finish.

Ruby red, with a nice roasted aroma. Maybe some smokiness. The hops are in a good balance giving a bitterness and a taste that is great for a beer like this.
