Aug 9, 2009 Bottle, thanks MiP. Golden orange, low carbonation. Malty aroma is a bit candyish. Sweet, a little candyish, malt-accented. A prickly spiciness in the finish.

Aug 6, 2009 Bottle, 6.5%. Gusher. Fruity aroma, quite caramelly. Hazy amber colour. Small white head. The flavour is caramelly and sweet. Has a little cream or butter in the finish, which actually suits it. A bit of spicy hoppiness. The bitterness is slightly rough, but OK. Not too bad.

Aug 3, 2009 Shared by MiP. Gushing bottle. Clear amber beer with thin fizzy cap. Aroma is bruised and metals. The flavors carried on a thin palate but linger long on the tongue but not as fizzy as it looks. Lots of sugars, fruit peel bitterness, earth, twigs. Decent hop profile matched by fruity malt.

Jun 28, 2009 Heavily carbonated, huge head, but not a gusher. Simple brown beer, little aroma. A pleasant ’dorstlesser’ for a summer day. Not much point in ’garde’ing this beer as it’s filtered and would probably stale rather than mature. Pleasant but dull. No UFOs sighted as previously reported.

May 4, 2008 Gushing to huge amberish, fluffy head over very carbonated bright red-amber beer. Dark UFO’s in the bottle, not very inviting looking. Grassy, toasted & ambrée malts, again very fresh-malty smelling, bit of caramel & toffee warming up, as well as alcohol. Very slight sourish (carbonation?), agreable touch to mainly caramelized sweet malts, toasted; light bitterish touch. Every new sip has an ever so slight smokey lining. Warming up, the sourish hint disappears quasi completely. Rather light bodied, even ending a bit empty. Strange beer, if not unlikeable. I wonder what the UFO’s are, as they resemble neither yeast, neither proteins - just, well, muck.

Sep 1, 2005 Updated: Mar 9, 2009Bottled (2005) Hazy amber, firm head. Citric nose. Sweet and buttery with some cellar tones. Medium bodied with rounded, dense mouthfeel. Grassy and lightly salty with restrained resiny finish. A subtle beer, perhaps too much so. (6/37573/11)
Re-rate (2009) The new batch seem much more hoppy, and the buttery cellar tones are gone. It’s now also more slim and drier. I like this a lot better!
