yespr (8540), Copenhagen O, Denmark Nov 28, 2008 50 cL bottle, courtesy of Magic dave6. Pours clear and golden yellow with a white head. Mild cardboardish aroma. Light malty and cardboardish sweet flavoured. Light bitterness too. Ends light cardboardish and mild towards cornish. KyotoLefty (537), Kyoto, Japan Sep 2, 2008 From a bottle in Wien, 2006.
Medium gold, leaning towards amber. Very fine head. Tangy, fruity, bitterish aroma. Good malt in the nose as well; a touch sweet. Good malt flavor, a touch sweet, with good hemp bitterness and fruitiness as well. You can taste the difference to hops, although it is not that remarkable. It is medium bodied, well carbonated, very fruity and spicy. Finish is rather oily and malty, while also bitter, and here it seems quite different to hops. A really great beer that is up there with the best Bavarian and Austrian pilsners. Is not quite as different as I would have liked, though, to normal hopped beer.
harrisoni (5605), Ashford, Kent, England Jan 21, 2008 500ml bottle at Bohemian, Deal. Gold with thick off white head. Slight pukey aroma, not as good as the pils, but the hoppy finish really stings the tongue, nettley. Finishes better than it starts. Fine. Interesting finish. JorisPPattyn (4691), Antwerpen, Belgium Dec 30, 2007 Metallic-golden beer, with just off-white small head. Creamy/grainy nose, sweet malts, even a bit toasted. Creaminess even goes to soft white cheese or coffee milk. Fresh grassy-garden herbs onset, but with immediate quite sweet (pale) malt underbuild, honey-ish. There’s a highly baffling palatal flavour of fresh oyster juice, but extremely feeble all the same. Rather light, watery finish. Not bad, but I still have to sample the first hempbeer, that adds something to the beerflavour palette. <i> Thanks to the Letzeburger beerhunter!</i> daniele (992), Italy Dec 13, 2007 Updated: May 27, 2008chiara buona schima aromi di malto miele acacia e luppoli erbacei in bocca classica lager senza difetti piacevolmente luppolata ma senza aromi spiccanti
