Bottle from Sweden.Amber colour with small white head.Aroma of toffee and caramel,feels thin and unbalanced with low carbonation and flat watery finish.

Bottle (Previous tasting from memory). Didn’t like this one. Not sure if it was damaged from the clear bottle or what but it just wasn’t very good. Will not be trying it again.

Appearance: copper color. Little head. aroma: some nutty, with light smells of caramel and dry-herbs. Flavor: some insipid, presence of caramel malts and nutty in the start. Maybe other reminiscences like red tea and apple skin. Light dry final. Palate: light body, watery texture and medium carbonation. Remark: poor beer.

Bottle, 3.5%. Nutty aroma, grainy vinousness. Clear amber colour. Small tan head. The flavour is nutty with grassy and spicy aroma hops. A bit watery, as expected.

50 cL clear bottle. Pours clear and golden deep orange to hazzlenut brown and a dense off-white head. Dry malty and slight hoppy spiced aroma. Mild breadish and somewhat thin to watery flavoured. Holds a mild bitterness into malt driven finish.

500 ml bottle. A two-finger dense beige head over a clear, plain brown colored body. Moderate aroma of caramellish malts with a nutty and light hoppy note. Taste is light malty and has a fair amount of earthy bittering hops. Feels somewhat watery in the mouth. Fine bitterness in the ending. Likeable.

Insipid on both the nose and the palate, and a not very substantial mouthfeel. Not something I’d be tempted to have again.

Big light brown head. Light brown body with light carbonation. Roasty nutty caramelly aroma with hoppy notes. Kind of weak. Dry watery roasty nutty taste. Quite sweet, too. Dry wooden hoppy aftertaste. Too much water for my taste. (0.5l bottle from gr0ve.)
