fonefan (5547), Ulfborg, Denmark Oct 6, 2008 <b>Bottle 75cl @ chris o’s Pre-GBBF Shindig 2008.</b><br />Unclear hazy medium yellow color with a large, frothy - fizzy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, light to moderate hoppy, citrus, moderate yeasty, soap. Flavor is moderate sweet, light acidic and moderate bitter with a average to long duration, and a dry finish. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. (020808)
thebeertourist (2005), Oslo, Norway Nov 21, 2008 On tap at Bir&Fud, Roma. Cloudy, pale golden with a small frothy head. Good fruity aroma with restrained spiciness. Coriander appears stronger in the mouth, though. A bit watery. A good enough wit. Maria (4761), Thisted, Denmark Nov 15, 2008 It’s light golden with notes of fruit, apple, citrus and herbs. The flavour has a light sweetness and notes of citrus, apple, malt and a touch of herbs. It’s very easy to forget... Doppelganger (1216), Oxford, Oxfordshire, England Sep 13, 2008 Bottle, 2008 Pre-GBBF Chris o Shindig. Ridiculously lively pour. Much more off-white foam than beer. The beer that eventually does settle out of the foam is pale straw. Salty ocean aroma, fresh cut grass. Soft wheaty bitterness, chalky mineral flavor and a little pepper. A refreshing, solid beer. (Also interesting is that at this point in my notes, an unfamiliar hand has scrawled: "Shane Mc Bogan. I <heart> Bogans." Who could it be?) MartinT (4458), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Aug 11, 2008 <i>My Bottom Line:</i><br />
Citrusy, floral hoppiness joins pale cereals and minutious fruit esters in this quenching and crafty session Saison.<br />
<br />
<i>Further Personal Perceptions:</i><br />
-A sumptuous head of foam tops the cloudy blond.<br />
-After having a few on tap and in the bottle, I get the impression that Del Borgo beers are more cohesive on draught.<br />
-Carbonation is relaxed; at this strength, this makes the beer ridiculously drinkable.<br />
-The finishing hop bitterness is herbal and wooden as well.<br />
-The body is very well rounded for this gravity.
