Small white head. Hazy brownish orange body. Fruity earthy hop aroma with notes of peas and bubblegum malts. Dry-sweet spicy wooden caramel malt taste with a crisp, clear burnt background. Fruity. Harmonic and balanced. Very nice and drinkable. (0.5l bottle from Knut Albert.)

Pig’s Ear BF 2007. Lots of hops fill the mouth, grass, pinem the works. If you like American style IPAs, this is your tipple. Long lingering finish.
