Floral aroma with some citrus hops and a nice malty mix. Metallic bitterness up front with noble hops and caramel malt making up the back. Its okay, but nothing I’ll have again. Papsoe (14613), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jun 18, 2007 (Bottle 65 cl) Clear, amber golden with a small, off-white head. Fresh and slightly fruity nose. Medium body with lightly sweet caramel notes. The finish is dry with a citrusy touch. Plain and solid. 170607 eaglefan538 (2351), Wilmington, Delaware, USA Jun 17, 2007 Poured a deep red-amber color, nice frothy off-white but near white head. The aroma was fruity upon opening, caramel, toffee, citrus and floral hops. Flavor is a slightly off caramel and some toffee, tea bags (not really in a good way, either), diacetyl overflow w/ warmer temperatures, and floral and citrus hops. Finishes bitter, somewhat watery in flavor, some sort of a noble hop, firm bitterness in the end with no strong flavors signifying the hop? The mouthfeel is moderate to full for the style, a little more malty than I’d expected. Not a winner for me, especially as a "special" beer which used an extra 1.5% abv (6.5% total). Should certainly have been better, heck, I feel like I over-rated this sucker.
