look: 4 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 2.5

A: Pours brown with a large tan thick head. Lots of lacings.

S: Sweet, sweet malt, light roasted. Faint bitter hops. Kind of artificial.

T: Sweet malt, slightly roasted. Bready. Some faint bitter hops. A bit unbalanced.

M: Aftertaste lingers for a little while, mainly sweet, but faint bitter as well. Body is medium full and carbonation is medium as well.

D: In my book, ecological beers aren't nice - this is no exception.

The beer is clear brown with an orange hue, an off-white high head that leaves lots of lacing.

The smell is murky, some malt, a chemical sourness, and earthy yeast tones.

Some initial dark bread sweetness, a taste of sour cabbage, and finally a rather sharp bitterness.

Medium carbonation, medium sized spritzy bubbles, a flat body and a dry finish.

Not very found of this one, Åbro should be able to do better.

2.9/5  rDev +4.3%
look: 4 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 3

The colour is dark brown; the finger thick head is compact and beige. Lots of lacing occurs.

The smell is malty with sweet notes of bread (loaf), alcohol, some slight chemical flavours (phenols, wax) and an earthy touch.

The taste is a bit unbalanced: Dry earthy notes of somewhat roasted malt, anonymous light hops with some bitterness and some alcohol. The aftertaste is dry and artificially bitter with earthy/metallic flavours and some hints of nuts.

The carbonation is medium as is the bubble size. The liquid is dry and a bit thin.

Sadly, once again an organic beer with lots of slight unclean flavours...
