[1] Review by ante from Stockholm, Sweden who has tried this beer a couple times. (5/5/2008 3:22:32 PM)
"Pours out in a hazy pale orange colour with a rich and dense white foam. Fresh fruity and yeasty aroma of dried oranges, apricots, cheese, mild cardamom and dough. Medium-bodied with notes of cheesy yeast, dried oranges, all-spice, mild pepper and dried apricots. Rounded mouthfeel. Long semi-dry finish of yeast, spices, orange-peels and pepper. "
