| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 2, 2009 On tap at the ’Beer Temple’, Amsterdam, 28-10-09 Wonderful hoppy aroma, was told that it was Amarillo or Simcoe but reading other ratings and the commerical description I’m not convinced, whatever they were they really shined. Nice sweet/bitter balance. The hops really do shine lovely, touch of perfume, nice hoppy burst again, really pleasant beer. A8 A4 F7 P4 Ov15 3.8 yespr (12414), Copenhagen O, Denmark

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 28, 2008 Draught, 7%. Not black, but cloudy orange with a small white head. Fruity aroma, a bit of asparagus, but not bad. The flavour also has some vegetable, and is quite sweet which along with the balancing alcohol gives a nice full body. Quite late bitterness, rather rough, but OK cleansing. Borresteijn (1441), Amsterdam, Netherlands
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 26, 2008 Tap @ BBF ’08. Not sure if this is the same beer, according to previous ratings. Heller bock, hazy golden colour, white head. Aroma of hops, cloying sweet malts (very malty!). Flavour is the same, thick sweetness with a rather bitter finish. Not very balanced, not my style.
