50cl bottle at Dr. Jekyll’s Pub. Batch 130. It poured a golden colour with a big white head that settled down fast in the glass. It has a fruity aroma that smells of malts and wheat. The flavour is fruity and tastes of hops and apples. It has a short aftertaste.

Bottle. [thanks big-bro]
Pours a pale, hazy orange with a big, frothy/bubbly, off-white head. Aroma has caramel and lots of flowery, English hops. Great mouthfeel, lilghtly creamy. Very good flavour. Some defining caramel sweetness with some dry dark chocolate notes behind a great, dry, hoppy mid-section. Long, dry, lingering, pine-like hoppy finish. Very nice.

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with an orangey head. The aroma has notes of malt and citrusy hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, spices, and lemon, leading to a dry spicy finish.

Bottle. This pours hazy orange golden with a creamy white head. Fruity and spicy aroma from what I would guess is Belgian yeast. Notes of banana, peach, orange and caramel. Body is medium. Flavour is fruity and very spicy with some sweet spicy finish. Bit too carbonated.

Bottle, #130, from trade with JensenTaster, thx a lot Ivan. It pours a hazy, golden-orange body, topped by a small, dense, off-white head. Caramel, malts, some alcohol notes, fruityness and a hint of yeast. Much the same going on in the mouth, it’s full-bodied and warming, with caramel, malts, some fruityness, and a nice bitterness towards the finish. Easy to drink and quite tasteful. (081229)

500 ml bottle, batch #130, at Parkteatret’s "Beer Day", Oslo. ABV is 6.0%. There are rumours that this really is the very same beer as HaandBryggeriet Påskegodt, but I find that hard to believe - Sen Sommer Ale is sweeter than I remember Påskegodt to have ever been. A side-by-side tasting is needed to settle that question, methinks. Hazy amber to orange colour, moderate head. Lovely aroma of fruity hops. Sweet flavour (slightly too much sweetness) with plenty of fruity hops. Moderately bitter finish.
