rsmeds (189), Turku, Finland Oct 1, 2008 Bottle.
Pours a clear, deep gold, with a tiny white head.
Aroma of bitterish flowery hops and mild sweetish malts.
Ditto for flavor, plus a faint hint of alcohol and grain.
Medium body, moderate carbonation, clean mouthfeel. KimJohansen (4285), Copenhagen V, Denmark Sep 20, 2008 Clear golden with medium off white head. Sweet aroma with malty, caramel and grainy notes. Sweet malty aroma with grainy and caramel notes. Ole_R (1279), Oslo, Norway Aug 12, 2008 500 ml bottle. Pure golden color, low near white foamy head. Refined malt aroma along with a pleasant scent of fresh bread, apples and grassy/floral hops. Taste is a nice blend of medium sweet malts and noble hops. Sugary notes towards the end. Medium-bodied. A gentle, lingering bitterness in the finish. Harmonious and moreish. Kalli (416), Falun, Sweden Aug 10, 2008 Nice gold, thin head leaves a bit of lacing. Disappointing aroma; grainy, hint of sweetness.
Thick and nearly buttery in the mouth. Bit grainy but that’s nitpicking, really. Finishes off with hops I can only think of calling medicinal. Which I quite like. Unusual and quite good. mjs (576), Helsinki, Finland Jul 17, 2008 (Bottle at Pikkulintu on 2008-07-12) Pale yellow and clear. Medium-sized bubbly white head. Dry and hoppy nose. Medium palate that turns dry and contains some carbonation. Malts, sweetness and hops in tase. Soft and bitter aftertaste.
