UPDATED: MAR 16, 2012 Bottle (50 cl). Appearance: 3/5 Clear amber liquid with a dirty white head that left chunks of foam on the side of the glass. Smell: 6/10 Fruity, caramel, malt, citrus, some oranges and a hint of metal. Taste: 6/10 Caramel, malt and some fruits. Mild, fruity and fairly easy to drink,. This beer worked well with the salty and fat Easter food last year and I got a feeling it will be just as good this year as well.
