Commercial Description:
There’s plenty of fruit like orange, tangerine and sweet apples. It’s powerful and full bodied but still easy going. Although the name would suggest otherwise, it’s our favourite amongst the female clientele yet also highly appreciated by the other sex. Well hopped as always, but the obvious alcohol and the massive malt and fruit character restrict the hops to the background, only to reveal itself in the finish. Full bodied, notes of champagne. Champagne mousse after pouring in the glass. Grapes and a hint of mandarin curacao in the aroma, together with a hint of vin mousseux. Malty sweet flavor, immensely full bodied, with mandarine curacao and vinous notes. Thick mouthfeel, just a touch of yeast in the aftertaste. Huge beer.

<i>Bottle (75 cl), shared with some dudes</i>. Cloudy amber, no head. Fruity and spicy malt aroma, with grapefruity hops and strong alcohol notes. Full bodied and flat. Scizofrenic mix of sugary sweetness and sharp bitterness.

Bottle with the Club. Pours a hazy amber with a diminishing head. Extremely sweet with a bitterness that I can only explain with "sugaroverload". Malty aromas. Extremely full bodied. Sticky mouthfeel. Supersweet finish (surprice surprice).

<b>Bottle 75cl.</b>
<i>My beer rating #5900</i>. Light unclear medium orange color with a average to large, frothy - creamy, excellent lacing, fully - mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy yeasty, fruity, mandarine, apple porridge, alcohol, barley wine. Flavor is heavy sweet and moderate to heavy bitter with a long duration. Body is full, texture is oily - syrupy, carbonation is soft - flat. Very nice and lovely. (140908)

Uklar og grumset orange farve, intet skum. Dufter af sprit, gær og bær. Smager alt for sød og er tyk flydende og helt flad og sprittet. Tak Jørgen, men det er en ommer......

Bottled. Hazy deep red-amber color, very small head. Berries, malts, alcohol, sorbus in the nose. Very heavy brew, sticky, grassy hoppy, sugary, alcoholic and sorbus flavored. Some soap in the aftertaste. Kicks ass with its 15 %. Menno, this is a bit too much .... tooooo heavy.
