Bottle at a Papsø tasting 09-Feb-2009 - Thanks to one of the guys. Clear yellow - white head. Grainy, straw, hay, sweetness, sharpness, fruity, corn, light hoppy. Better than expected.

500 ml bottle. Golden colour. Crystal claear. Very tall white coarse head that clings to the glass. Delicate papery noble hop aroma with some metallic notes. Grassy. Crisp maltiness. Light-bodied, but still with quite a bit of malt flavour. Light lingering floral hop bitterness through to the finish. Very nice.

straw-blonde colour ... not very firm head (the foam is a bit ’soapy’) .... taste is a bit soury .... the problem with Austrian beers will be similar to the problem with Swiss beers I guess: the water is too hard ... this usually gives a light bodied beer with a soury note ... ok as a thirst quencher in summer, but not a beer to enjoy

50 cL bottle, courtesy of KimJohansen. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Mild grassy and vague citrus fruity hops aroma. Flavour is mild citric and hoppy flavoured. Clean and crisp, mild bitter finish.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of KimJohansen. Clear golden with a dense white head. Aroma of hops and a little sulphur. Medium body with some maltiness and a light metallic edge. Subdued bitterness. But overall fairly decent. 090209

Bottle (50 cl) from ICA Focus, Göteborg, Sweden. Clear colden with a large fluffy white head. Fresh bready and grainy malt aroma with some faint grassy hops. Ok mouthfeel, a bit sweet with some bitterrness. A well-made 3.5 % lager.

Big coarseish white head does not last. Yellow body. Floral shampoo and vegetable aroma. Dryish floral straw and soap taste with grassy rubbery notes. Light, clean mouthfeel. Dryish floral grassy hop aftertaste. Light and drinkable, but definitely watered down. (0.5l bottle, shop, Charlottenberg.)

[Bottled] Golden colour, crystal clear. Big white foam. Dusty aroma up front, bit harsh with fruity notes and hops. Wet grass is also evident. Mouthfeel is pretty light, yet with decent maltiness at this abv-level. Clearly fruity, which shows off peticularly in the finish. Hops are clear here as well. Rounded mouthfeel.
