A very beutiful beer with a dark amber color and a beutiful lasting head. The aroma is very fruity (almost like an ale) and also sweet and spicy. It has a very filling taste with a very complex sweetness - it’s very hard to tell that its been brewed on wheat malt - there are some smoked and caramel notes contained. And it ends on a nice bitterness that lingers. All in all a very fine beer.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Light brown beer with a pretty limited head. Spices are not very prominent. But the nice aroma hops shines through. Sweetish, fullbodied beer with som bitterness on the palate. Good choice as a winter session beer.

Bottled. Brownish amber with rich, creamy head. Flowery toffee aroma. Sweet, medium boided. Short mouthfeel, weak malt structure. Fruity with motes of plums. Some salty bitterness.

12 oz bottle. Pours orange/amber with an off-white head. Toffee and floral notes in the aroma, sweetish. Caramel malty flavoured with a floral bitter hops bite. Finish has a nice solid bitterness. Doesn’t feel like a wheat beer at all.

Bottled, 5.6%. Copper coloured, huge beige foamy head, lacing. Sweet malts and alcohol in aroma along with cookies and weak chocolate. Flavour is caramel, malts, fruits and spices. Short finish, and almost no aftertaste. Some alcohol in finish, but brutally cut in flavour after that. Nice brew though, could have a few more of these!

Bottle. Very malty flavour. Bright chestnut colour. Aftertaste is quite spicy. Very nice and easily drinkable. A little too much carbonation for me.
