bierkoning (4738), La Tropica, Netherlands Dec 15, 2003 Dutch Ratebeer Meeting. Very light colored. The beer smells badly. Sweet and thin with rice and apple. Drain pour!
Suds_McDuff (1013), was CapeTown,SA-now Houston,TX, Texas, USA Aug 23, 2008 bought over by the one called stumac, this started Stumelgram IV ... soapy yet almost firm head ... lots of grassy deliciousness, but as it warms enjoyment fades ... dark caramel colour .. some sweetness ... corn!! ... KAggie97 (1887), Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA Jul 20, 2008 Bottle from my friend John, who swears he bought this at Phoenicia in Houston. Pours a nice yellow with a great head; my porn star girlfriend smiled. Flavor is thick corn with a brusque aftertaste of husk. Thick mouthfeel. Worth a try, nonetheless. martinboer (1333), Amsterdam, Netherlands Jun 18, 2008 Bottle in Northfield, MA. Golden body. Skunky pilsener nose. Taste of grass, some citrus. Crisp and good texture. But not much to it. bhensonb (2883), Woodland, California, USA Apr 6, 2008 Green bottle. Aroma of grassy hop backed by a bit of sweet malt. Brassy gold color with a pretty good size white head. Thin to medium body with coarsely creamy carbonation. Good feel. Flavor is grass and floral hop over biscuit. Not exactly crisp, but it seems clean. Finish is more bitter than sweet. Goes down well after 4 hours mucking about in the yard. Wulfstan (443), California, USA Jan 29, 2008 Updated: Mar 18, 2008This was surprisingly good. It’s dark gold with a medium, dense off-white head that slowly shrinks and leaves a little lacing. The aroma is a strong, pungent pale lager aroma first of sweet grain & malt, then flowery pine, leaves, with hints of crackers and a typical light hint of skunk. The taste is also a strong pale lager taste, with a sweetish malty start then a faintly meaty, pungent pine-herbal-grass hop taste and bitterness that really dominates the drink for the rest of the time and is quite nice. After a while, as it warms a bit, there is a faint soapy metallic quality, but this is not noticeable if one drinks it cold or does not linger on it, instead letting the sharp herbally hops dominate. The body becomes a little watery as it warms. In the end, it is quite good. It is somewhat similar to Weihenstephaner Festbier, but tastes better, more well-rounded, and less sharp. It goes well with food.
