Chriso Shindig Aug 2009. Lots of orange peel - but too intense. Touch of sulpher. Some sweetness. Drinkable, but not really my thing.

At Chriso’s pre GBBF Shindig ’09. Amber with a large white head. Floral hops in the aroma, with some pine. Sweet mandarin and malt balance the grapefruit bitterness. My final beer of the gathering, and a worthy conclusion.

Thanks to Torben. Amber and faint unclear. Has an off-white head. Aroma has lots of hops, citrus, passion-fruit, grape. Flavor starts light sweet and heavy bitter. Finish is harsh bitter, nice. Dry texture. Soft carbonation.

Draught@Pikkulintu. Amber, a bit hazy color. Small white head, lace. Fruity, bretta-yeast nose, some apricot too. Sour, citrusy, hoppy flavor. Long bitter aftertaste. Good brew.

Bottle. Shared with Rudolf & IPFreely. Pours a light caramel pour. Mildly hopped aroma. Mild Orval like earthiness. Kind of like Orval’s uglier sister. Big bitter finish after the earthy yeastiness up front. Very drinkable but lacking a bit in flavor

Draught (Pikkulintu, Helsinki) - sip
Big bold new-world hop aroma, citrus and grapefruit, perhaps a little over-the-top. Palate’s pure battery acid. A beer with no balance, and no details at all. This is to beer what John Lennon’s guitar sitting on top of the monitors producing feedback once he left the stage was to music. I.e. it isn’t. Even a couple of sips was too much, it’s just painful to drink.

(on bottle) A very yeaty and earthy aroma, along wing a whim of hops gone moldy and old. The brew is pretty perky and keeps it that way all through the drink. I really don´t get much more than mold and heavy yeast in this beer, sipping along for a long while, hoping for more complexity. It´dosen´t apear and I walk away,a bit disapointed.

Tap at Copenhagen Beer Festival 2009. Hazy orange brown color, fine off-white head. Aroma is fruity, hoppy, citrus and some brettanomyces. Følavor is floral hops, malt, some fruit and some brett.
