An orange beer with a small but fast diappearing head. The aroma is very slight with notes of fruit. The flavor is flat and casky - but then it turns slightly sweet with notes of raspberries, other berries, and fruit, before it turns bitter with a cask flatness to go with it. But what lingers on the tongue is a nice fruity bitterness.

Bottled. Deep golden. Fuggley hay aroma. Sweet and aromatic. Fresh maltiness accompanied by a wealth of hops. Medium bitterness. I like it better than the cask version.

(Bottle 50 cl) Beautiful amber colour with a nice, white head that leaves laces when it settles. Malty, sweetish nose. Surprisingly full-bodied considering the low alcohol. Sweetish, lightly smoked malt - almost whisky-like notes. Siscreet, short, dry, hoppy finish. Lovely spring beer. 160605
