Bottle from Björn, thanks. Thick fluffy light brown head. Opaque golden color. Small aroma from light roasted malt and some citrus fruitiness. Big malty taste with a medium body and nice bitterness.

Bottled. Clear mahogany colour, mid-sized head. Dry and salty with a nutty roastiness. Fairly light bodied with slight notes of berries. Salty finish with low bitterness.

Bottle. Orange-brown with a big, frothy and sustaining head. Aroma is highly fruity (mainly peach, much less strawberry) and hoppy (resin). Apart from that it is also grainy malty and to a smaller degree earthy, dusty, with some caramel. Full body and quite heavy palate, a bit too heavy that is, which is this beer’s one of two minor flaws. Taste is mainly resiny hops, peachy fruitiness, soft malt, some subtle alcohol astringency, and very subtle toffee that is kept down by the quite intensive and lasting bitterness.which is partly sharp-astringent - which is this beer’s second minor flaw. On the whole, however, this is a very good and recommendable brew, despite the partly disappointing palate.

Bottle 500ml from Thirst for Beer in Pwllheli (Wales). Ale copper-gold, off-white average head. Aromas of roasted malt, yeast and fruit, touch of licorice. In mouth, the malt and the toffy are supported by spices and hops. The end is drier, always malted with a good herbaceous and resined bitterness.

Bottled. A red-amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of fruit as well as lighter notes of butter and hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, leading to a quite bitter finish.

Bottle. Easily the best from this brewery by a mile. Bronze with a lovely well rounded slightly malty taste.Came as a pleasant surprise as the others from this brewery have been average or just above. This stands out as an excellent beer.

Hazy,murky orange with med head. Good lacing. Lots of yeast. Fruity,malty aroma. Bready, malty taste with good hops. B

It is hazy bronze colored with a huge, creamy head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, yeast, fruit and berries. The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of roasted malt, caramel, fruit, berries, yeast and in the finish it has a dry citrus with a light bitterness. Its quite nice.

Bottle at YNWA. Clear amber - white head. Nice fruity, berries, soapy, freshness, noce hoppy, grassy, toasted, light woody hop notes. Hoppy finish.

Bottle, 4.6%. Good grassy hop aroma, slightly caramelly and flowery. Almost clear dark orange colour. Small tan head. The flavour is slightly yeasty but with a good flowery and grassy hop note.
