Bottle @ home: Certainly ok for a lighter beer. Golden colour (doh). Taste is malty. It’s ok, but I’m not too hasty to buy this one again.

Appearance is clear golden with a quickly disappearing white head that leaves no lacing. Smell is very faint, almost undetectable. Taste is like dilute ricewater, starch with a bit of malt. Not many hops, not much balance. Even considering that the style is not intended to have massive malt or massive hops, the flavor of this one is so subtle that I think I missed it entirely. Slight malty finish. Mouthfeel is very light and watery. Drain pour.

Bottle @ Ølfestival, Esbjerg, 2009.
Pours clear golden with almost no head. Aroma has a little smoke, light brewing cereal, a touch of metal. Highish carbonation, a bit thin. Flavour is sweet, light vegetables. Okay, but a bit harsh hoppiness. Fine dry finish. But still not very good.

Aroma - faint malt sweetness, light hop; Appearance - golden, thin yet fluffy head, decent lacing; Flavor - mild malt front, slight hop back, pretty dry finish; Palate - crisp though not overpowering; nice body; Overall - one of the better light ales I’ve experienced, nothing spectacular yet very good, still a tad bitter about the brewery’s move from Colorado though.

Bottle: Golden with a little haze, almost no head; light to moderate hoppy nose over grains and traces of fruits; light dryish bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; becomes a bit hoppier and drier in the bitter-fruity finish. Fresh summer drink.......
