An orange beer with a small head. The aroma is sweet malty with hints of caramel and hops. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, but the mouthfeel is flat and the body is thin. I bet this is better under the scorching sun in Nigeria than on a cold snowy winters night in Copenhagen.

Bottle 65 cl. Pours golden with loads of tiny impurities and a lively, rough white head. Aroma of sweet brewing cereal and perhaps even a little malt. Medium body, sweet corn and chemicals. No bitterness. 180110
