Draught at Cockney Pub, Aarhus, August 2005. The very first brew from this new brewery, so I can make some allowances if things are not quite right. From the name and the colour (gold/amber), I was expecting something aiming at an Abbey tripel style but it certainly wasn’t that. And I’m not sure why it is on the site as a pale lager because I don’t think its that either. To be honest it was a bit difficult to tell because there was an unfortunate whiff of diacetyl on the nose and whatever other elements were in the aroma weren’t strong enough to break through. And whilst there was a little citrus and yeast on the palate, it wasn’t really full flavoured enough to get much of a handle on the flavour either. Not to say it was unpleasant, just not very distinctive. More work needed.

Sep 17, 2008 Updated: Sep 30, 2008 Draught No head, fine haze in orange-golden beer. Bread, dry yeast, herbal aromas. Spicy, again too much and a sweet (!) finish - seems a problem with oxydized malts. Medium bodied, spicy retronasal into the aftertaste. A German Weizenbrewer having used lager yeast to make Eenglish ale? Or what was the idea?
