Bottle: Poured a rusty copper brown with a medium creamy head. The aroma was skunk when I popped the top, but at a close sniff I could sense caramel and malts. Taste is a bit bitter as to be expected, had a nice fruit and hops. Pretty well balanced, finished smooth.

Aug 26, 2008 Bottle, bought @ YNWA, Kolding.<br />
Pours deep brown-orange with a medium, staying, off-white head. Aroma has caramel, good hoppiness, some pine and flowers. A light touch of honey. Medium carbonation, okay mouthfeel. Fair flavour, fine caramel with a good, dry and bitter hoppy finish. Fair beer.

Aug 17, 2008 very average. Looked dead on arrival. & to be sure it was. True cellar tempture, flat & watery. No distintive anything - but not bad... just very uninteresting.

May 24, 2008 Bottle from Morrisons. Amber with a decent, frothy off-white head and moderate carbonation. Aroma had plenty of caramel with a whiff of red fruit. Flavour was sweetish with a hint of peppery hops and a short, bitter finish. Ok.
