| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 26, 2008 Big shiny offwhite head. Hazy orange body with carbonation. Peachy citric mango hop aroma with catty oily notes. Aroma is basically dominated by the hops. Dry-sweet mango peach hop taste with very fruity straw and grain notes. Aftertaste is the same. Very powerful, but still fresh. Excellent! (0.75l bottle from Gamle Strand, Copenhagen.) ante (2942), Stockholm, Sweden
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 1, 2007 Draught at Københavnske Øldage. Hazy dark golden with a rich and sticky white foam. Dryish hop aroma of grass, grapefruit and pepper, almost no signs of sweetness from the malts despite the ABV. Full and really dry hoppy flavour of minerals, wet grass, grapefruit and metal. Long bitter finish of grapefruit. Quite tasty but it felt fairly unbalanced, leaving no room for the sweetness from the malts. beerbuzzmontreal (2911), Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Aroma of hops and spices (pepper mostly). Interesting flavor of hops, pepper and mild alcohol. The body is medium with a creamy texture and moderate carbonation. Nicely done. skortila (2905), Bunnik, Netherlands

Smells of good malt and fine noble hops, dark amber, with a small off-white head. Flavour is a spicy malt, hops add a nice level of bitterness. Full bodied, a zingy mouthfeel.Terrific example. Thank You Radek Kliber. Glouglouburp (2839), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 22, 2009 Updated: Aug 10, 2009In short: A big hoppy lager. Somewhere between a pilsner on steroids and a Pale Ale on steroids.
How: Bottles 750ml, consumed fresh within a few weeks after receiving it through private importation.
The look: Cloudy golden-orangy body topped by a large long-lasting white head
In long: Nose of orange, leather and hay in the country field, almost wild (unusually wild for a lager). Taste has a lot of cereals, clementines, dry fruity skins of all kinds, soft honey/caramel sweetness and a truckload of hops. Hopping has the noble dry grassiness as well as a fruity/pine-tree character. Good chewy thick lager feeling. Not very tasty but highly drinkable for a 8% brew. Fantastic Draft in a bottle, which said like that makes as much sense as a genuine imitation of natural plastic flowers.
