Nice, not too heavy but beautifully rounded. Nice and foamy with a good taste. One of the better %5 beers

Plain taste plain smell nothing special very boring typed on BlackBerry so not much boring

From Under Masken, Aarhus, DK. On tap. Amber with off-white head. Aroma of malt and fruit. Flavor is caramel with coriander seeds and fruit.

Bottle into tulip glass at De Garre cafe in Bruges. An orangey-red beer with a good sized off white head and nice lacing. The aroma is grainy malts and mild lemony citrus. Taste is similar with a medium to light body and an easy drinkabilty. The finish is bittersweet and uncomplicated providing ample refreshment. Better than average.

Amber with a small off white head. Sweet, yeasty aroma. Sweet rather fruity taste, a bit thin, but pleasantly dry. Raspberry perhaps? An excellent accompaniment to a typical English cricket picnic of smoked salmon, strawberries and cream, sultry heat and evening thunderstorms.

Pours light brown/amber with a decent white head; little retention in my Chimay chalice. Big malt aromas of biscuit, bread and raisin with almost no recognizable hop bouquet. Very malty up front but that is rapidly replaced by a spicy hop dryness that cleanses the palate and lasts into the finish; leaves a hard water impression in the mouth which suits a pale ale just fine. Too little body which may be a product of filtration or pasteurization, although it may be age. This beer would undoubtedly improve if the brewery switched to bottle conditioning.

Bottle. Creamy off-white good mostly lasting head. Dark yellow colour. Moderate malty slightly bready aroma. MOderate hoppy and light honey notes. Moderate bitter flavor. Fruity notes. Light bitter herbal finish. Oily palate.

Copper pour, no head, no lacing. Citrus, winy aroma. Flat, cinnamon start, with bitter hops finsih. Low malt balance. Kind of boring, and very flat.
