Tootjainfo: "It is often said that behind every good man stands a strong woman. Well, in the case of Todd & Linda Haug of Minneapolis brewing fame, this is not quite accurate. Because Linda Haug was never placed behind her husband, rather she’s up there right next to him - and always has been. Two years ago we brewed "Todd - The Axe Man" (a beer title we had to come up with, Todd is way too humble to even suggest anything like that) which has been hugely successful, both in its Danish and its American incarnation. So we found it only fitting to brew a beer for Linda, Todd’s partner in crime in every aspect of life, since this couple has become very good friends of Amager. Linda is not only cool and badass, she also has the biggest heart you can imagine. And for the brew day she came here and worked her butt off to brew the beer we created as a collaboration. Here’s to you Linda - because next to every axe man, there’s an axe grinding wife…."

Keskmist kasvu pikakaelaline pudel, sildil metallrüüs lõõmav naine. Kollakas pöidlajämedune vahukiht on mõõdukalt püsiv, jättes taandudes klaasiseinale tihke vahupitsi. Õlle värvus - kirkalt oranžika helgiga lõõmavpunane.

Aroom - see meelitab juba kaugelt värske humalavinega. Vaigune, karameljas, odraveinilik, pihlakane, kibuvitsa ja pärnaõite, kanarbiku ja hilissuve segune. Soe ja hunnitu.

Esmamekk. Ahsamait! Humalad ja odravein. Mõrkjus ja raske magushapukus. Pihlakamarmelaad.

Keskmaitse. Mõrkjas, vaigune, männine, raudne, ruske, rohmakas. Pihlakamarmelaad.

Lõppmaitse. Ootamatus tuulehoos murdunud jäme männioks nõrguv vaiku kesk mesiseid kanarbikuõisi. Pihlakamarmelaad.

Järelmekk. Kuivatatud ananass männivaigus. Pohlad kanarbikumees. Pihlakamarmelaad.

Raske kehaga, mõõdukalt karboniseerunud ja siidise buketiga, mõrkjas-magusakas-mõrkjas-magusakas-hapukas-vürtsikas-magusakas-mõrkja buketiga MEGATASANDI rüübe! Humalane odravein oleks selle joogi õige nimi. Pihlamarmelaad õlleklaasis!
