A: Pours all beige compact head at first. After a while the head settles as the liquid rises; hazy orange. Nice lacings occour after some time.

S: Lots of bitter hops together with the bready slightly roasted sweet malt. Some chocolate and lots of flowers. The floral hops brings red and green apples as well as pears. A sour cherry-kernel-like bitterness lures in the back.

T: Follows the smell, but the sour cherry-kernel-like bitterness is much more obvious. A mild buttery tone is well hidden but still present. Very fruity and flowery.

M: Long bitter aftertaste. The body is somewhat light for this style (strange, cause all the flavours are there...). Low carbonation.

O: Well, rather nice but the ABV could have been higher and then the body would have been fuller which had made this better.
