Clear amber, medium sized beige head. Not very strong but pretty good aroma of orange-peels, peaches, nuts, grass and toffee. Quite hoppy flavour of grass and orange-peels with sweetnes from toffee and chocolate. Orangey finish, notes of chocolate. Medium bodied. Acceptable easter offering.

Dark dark red colour. Begie head. Aroma is nutty. Taste is nutty and malty.Good bitter finish.

Bottle
Dark brown, medium head with good lacing. First impresion is loads of flowery hops. That developes into a more sweet maltiness with some tannies and coffee notes.Full bodied with some coffee like bitterness for finish. Unusual Swedish easter beer. Reminds me of an English strong ale from a micro wanting to be American. Somewhat unbalanced though. Needs a bit more sweetness. Smother as a real ale, I would like to hope :-)

Bottle. Dark Amber colour with a tan head. Dusty, light roasted, caramel malty, anis aroma and taste, light hoppy. Medium body with a light sweet, dry finish.

Smallish brown head. Deep red body with ongoing carbonation. Sweetish, mealy roasty caramel aroma with hop notes. Dry watery resiny burnt malt taste with smoky yeasty notes. Sharpish mouthfeel. Bitter, burnt almond aftertaste. Very nice. (0.5l bottle at Oliver Twist.)

500ml bottle. Dark Red/brown body with a medium beige head. Strong citrus/hoppy and some spicy aroma. Flavor is caramel malt, hops and a light roastines (smoky?). Well balanced and well made.

50 cl bottle, bougth in Strømstad. Shared with Roger during the Liverpool - Arsenal game yesterday. Brown color, beige head. Aroma is hops and sweet malt. Flavor is Sweet caramel malt, hops and fruit. Bitterdry finish. Really nice beer!

(bottle, 50cl) An amber, red ale with golden foam which formed a thin, creamy layer. Fresh, fruity aroma with a clear scent of melon (!). Full palate and very good taste with decent bitterness, well balanced roasted tone and again that melon. I liked this beer.

bottle 500ml from Alko 3.29€ copper chilled tangy hops attack at first almost irritating way expecting some other flavors from Easter beer. Second bottle room temperature gives malty body fudge no attack of tangy hops at all. Tasty beer but not what I am looking for Easter beer.

Amber with a beige head. Floral and malty nose. The aroma goes along the same line with some aditional grass and fruity notes. A good smooth alcohol warmth and a very crisp and nice bitterness in the end.
