Commercial Description:
Brewed by Mikkeller at De Proefbrouwerij in Lochristi, Belgium.

’Fad bamse’ is a highly hopped and dry hopped imperial pilsner with a light body and lovely crispyness from the lager yeast.
A Danish pilsner is typically characterized by an alcohol content of 4,6% vol., piss-yellow colour and a sexless, slightly bitter taste. But it doesn’t have to be like this…! Draft Bear is Mikkellers interpretation of a ’pilsner’, heavyweight-style. With its powerful hop notes, high alcohol content and lovely golden appearance, the only reference to the pilsner style is the clean taste of the lager yeast.
Ingredients : Water, malts (pils, carapils and amber), light candy sugar, hops (amarillo and cascade) and lager yeast.

It poured a hazy golden liquid with a big foam that left lots of lacing. Smell and taste was very fruity with hops, passion fruit, peaches. Medium body and medium bitterness. Very nice! Best lager ever!

750 ml bottle. Golden orange colour, thick and foamy off-whte head. Very pleasant aroma of citrus and other fruits, pine and some sweet malts. The flavour is malty, with a little caramel, some citrus fruits and a warm, dry and strongly bitter hoppy finish. Delicious.

Bottle @ Hashigo Zake tasting. Golden with deacent white head. Sweet honey and hop aroma, with quite a high alcoholic tinge. Dry hop characters with no astringency and sligh caramel sweetnessto balance it out. Very smooth on the palate.

750 ml bottle. Finland.
Clear amber/orange colour with small off-white head. Fruity bitter hoppy aroma. Lots of maltiness and bitter hoppiness in flavour. Some yeast and alcohol warmth. Is this really Strong Lager? If so, very good.

Draft. Golden with a little haze. Lovely hoppy aroma with notes of grape fruits, hay and lightly kilned malt. Bitter and dry; a true thirst quencher, however full-bodied, whick makes it a beer to sip and not a true lawnmower beer.

[9/5/08] Bottle sample at Kulminator in Antwerp after LCRBM. Murky orange. Aroma of yeast, fruits and some flowery hops. Sweetish spicy flavor with yeast and hoppy bitterness in the finish. Medium-bodied.
