janir (179), Oulu, Finland Jul 12, 2008 Clear coppery color. Head is white, thick, long-lasting and lacy. Very strong caramel malty aroma is also flowery, grassy hoppy and fresh. Toffy, buttery and caramel malty flavor with nice bitter finish. Medium-bodied and foamy carbonated palate.
harrisoni (5382), Ashford, Kent, England Oct 5, 2008 Bottle at EBF 08. Gold/orange with a slight haze, thin beige head. That’s a pretty decent ull tasting lager. I’m impressed. Slightly spiced, veryimpressive lager. Extremely rounded. Good spicy hop. Ole_R (1304), Oslo, Norway Sep 29, 2008 Bottle from Fine Food, Kastrup. A bright amber colored beer. Dense, nice-looking beige head. Beautiful Pilsner aroma; light sweet biscuity malts, floral and fresh fruity hops. Taste has a fine malt profile balanced by noble bittering hops. Notes of toffee. Clean mouthfeel. Medium body. Well-made and balanced. larsga (2319), Oslo, Norway Sep 24, 2008 Medium coarseish offwhite head. Amber body. Strong harmonic aroma of papery caramel with notes of modelling clay. Dryish kind of sharp papery caramel taste dominates all the way through the aftertaste. Light and mild mouthfeel somewhat obscured by the sharpness of the taste. Minty grassy notes and some fruity straw can be made out. Dry papery caramel aftertaste settles in the mouth, making me want to rinse it. If this were a little less sharp and papery it would be a nice beer. Interestingly, when the beer warms the sharp papery taste becomes less prominent (without disappearing), making the beer more balanced, and citrus notes appear. Becomes more delicate, too. Bitterish aftertaste. (0.75l bottle from Fine Foods at Kastrup airport.) mikkopen (116), Oulu, Finland Sep 18, 2008 Draught at Graali, Oulu, Finland. Orange, slightly hazy colour; thin but dense white head. Sweet flowery malty aroma, notes of berries. Malty, a little buttery flavour, with spices and berries. A very nice and distinctive pils. BeerBiker (1209), Odense, Denmark Aug 27, 2008 [Draught at Espehus at Grannys 85 years day.] Dark golden like a classic, but with hops like a pilsner. Ok, nice beer, smooth, fruit and malt.
