CapFlu (3480), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Dec 25, 2007 (500ml bottle) Thanks Joss for sharing. Pours a thin, white head with a cloudy orange body. Nose is fairly skunky. Very sewer flavour with a tart off-orange finish. Not to my liking. Oakes (8057), gone rambling, Vietnam Dec 11, 2007 Hazy golden-amber colour. Fresh complex malt aroma with leafy hops. Toasty body with light leafy hop accents and some breadcrustiness. Decent. Beershine (2678), Hue, Vietnam Dec 10, 2007 Bottle thanks to Joss. Pours a hazy ripe papaya color. Smells a little macrobrew-like but not bad. Tastes full of grain character and hop. Clean, nice, and bitter with a dry finish. Balanced. Decently chewy, soft, and bursty mouthfeel. Slayer85 (582), Firenze, Italy Aug 11, 2007 Bottled. A lightly hazy red beer with a big but fast disappearing white head. The aroma is malty with caramel notes. the flavour has again notes of caramel, malt and a light toastness.Some hops in an aftertaste that has a light bitterness. Nearly as good as their helles, that means that is a very drinkable beer. MoritzF (4856), Bochum, Germany Nov 22, 2006 (bottle, with thanks to Jonas!) Cloudy, orange-amber colour with a short frothy off-white head. Sweet, toasty malt aroma with ester-fruity notes, shades of caramel and spicy, nettle-like hop-elements. Toast-malty, yeast-fruity taste, caramel, almost fizzy on the palate, light to medium bodied; medium-dry, malty, slightly bitter finish. Quite palatable. pivnizub (4949), Bochum, Porúří, Germany Oct 9, 2006 Bottle: Hazy, amber coloured, medium-sized, quite firm off-white head; slightly fruity and dark sweet-malty to caramelly nose; mild sweetish flavour, fizzy mouthfeel; sweetish-caramelly finish with a moderate bitterness in the aftertaste. O.K. (by kind permission of joss...) GarethYoung (1110), Glasgow, Scotland Oct 26, 2005 [bottle from LCRBM] malty, caramel, bready. good body, a little bitterness. duff (5474), Surrey, Greater London, England Oct 19, 2005 Bottle. Not as good as the hell, but still quite nice. Touches of caramel and brown sugar, with a nice lightly bitter herbaceous, grassy hop finish. Not too bad at all.
