 Rune (1809), Tromsø, Norway
Oct 1, 2008 100ml served far too cold at the Jacobsen/Carlsberg bar, EBF. Clear amber. Missing head. Sweet dark fruits to the nose. Some hints of spruce and pine in flavour, which feels a bit detained. Rounded mouthfeel. Not that exciting (12.09.2008).
Ethereal (927), London, Greater London, England
Sep 24, 2008 Bottled at EBF 2008, Copenhagen. Clear coppery amber with little to no head. Light, slight corny aroma. The pine element is evident in the flavour. Smooth with a dry-ish finish. OK stuff.
larsga (2313), Oslo, Norway
Sep 22, 2008 Medium offwhite head. Slightly hazy amber body. Yeasty malty aroma with citric fruity notes and some grain. Dry-sweet malty citric hop taste with grainy notes. Dry citric aftertaste. Decent. Rated this blind, that is, without knowing what it was. (0.1l taster from bottle at EBF ’08.)
Ungstrup (11378), Frederiksberg, Denmark
Sep 17, 2008 Bottled. A pale amber beer with a nice tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and dusty hops. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, pine, dusty hops, citrus, and a light touch of elderflower and other spices, leading to a dry finish where both the caramel and the pine note carries thru. The body is a bit thin.
