I know. Easter beer at this time of year but does not take up when there are other things. Good in taste and aroma with a not perhaps overly good taste.

(Bottle) Reddish amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with toffee, bread, treacle, orange peel and citrus. Malty taste with notes of rye bread, orange peel, treacle-toffee, citrus and a nice citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, fairly dry. Tasty and well balanced. Quite nice.

Flaske 0,5l spandert av Rune og delt med ham 1 Mai 12. Brun på farge. Høyt luftig skum. Svak karamellaroma. Smaken er drevet av malt. Ganske lett. Svakt syrlig ettersmak. KI=5
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark amber color, with big creamy head. Good malty aroma, caramel, a bit buttery, and nutty; light cereals too; a wonderful combination actually.
As usual from Sigtuna, it’s quite dry, with dark malts and dry caramel flavor, and a light grainy edge; strong bitterness.
Good but not fantastic, but for sure one very interesting Nordic Easter ale, balanced, with light alcohol.

500ml bottle shared with Finn. Pours a clear, dark brown body covered by a decent off-white head, leaving fragile lacing behind. Mild roasted malts to the nose. Taste of roasted malts thinned with nuts and notes of dark fruits followed by a smooth bitter ending. Medium to thin bodied. Easy going. Paired well with our spicy food (Tromsø, 01.05.2012).
