FatPhil (2063), Espoo, Finland Aug 17, 2008 500ml bottle (One Pint, Helsinki)
Rich malty aroma, almost vegetal, but not rotting veg. Very full bodied. Soft palate, but quite decent carbonation. Decent hoppiness, but again heads towards a vegetal nature. All in all, it’s a tasty and full-flavoured hoppy brew, if a little 1-dimensional, and the
[ooops, review ends abruptly. hmmm, ... alcohol is kept well in check? ... hoppy finish is quite potent? I dunno, both were true.] Miksu (1244), Jyväskylä, Finland Aug 15, 2008 0.5 l bottle at SOPP 2008, Helsinki. Hazy amber brown color with small head. Sweet toffeish aroma with flowery hops. The flavor is toffeish, caramelly and worty with hints of banana and some yeastiness in the finish. Somewhat monotonous. fiulijn (5860), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Aug 5, 2008 Draught at Cockney Pub, Århus Hazy amber color. From the very light sour aroma and a pungent bitter flavor, I guess that there is a light infection going on; the keg is probably only open for 3 days, I hope it’s not a problem at the brewery, as they can brew quite good beers. Pinball (353), Allerød, Denmark Jul 14, 2008 bottle best before jun08, tasted jul08. "flat" aroma, yeast most dominant. dark unclear yellow with small head okay flavor, very small hint of sour, otherwise caramel, sugar, aged beer. very nice. reminds me of a very mild version of barley wine, probably bc. the bottle is a little old. tastes better than the score. Bragesnak (1134), Aarhus, Denmark Jul 14, 2008 From Hos Valter, Ebeltoft, DK.
Bottled - Jubilærumsøl of Ebeltfort Handelstandsforening. 120708.
Amber with nice head. Aroma of malt and caramel. Flavor is sweet of malt and toffee but balanced to spicy hops and medium bitterness.
