Bottled: Orange farvet. Er let tåget. Har et lyst beige skum, med en høj tæthed. Holder godt. Medium karbonering. Citrus, let frugt and let caramel i aromaen. Smagen er let humlet og blomstret. Har noget sødme og frugtighed. Er lidt bitter i enden. Tør og medium fylde. God balance. Tak til Ungstrup for denne øl fra hans overskudslager.

Thanks to matta for this. Pours deep copper with medium white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, slight hops. Tastes malty, with a fruity, caramel element and some finishing hops. Very smooth palate, and some honey at culmination.

22 oz bottle shared with the Master of Disaster, ClarkVV at his parents’ palatial chalet in Belfast Maine. Rich, clear amber with a smallish lasting head...pleasant enough citrusy-sharp nose muted by big dollops of caramel...bland, light sweet body, little malt depth, very watery body. One of many beers on this Maine trip that struggles to find words boring enough to fit the experience of drinking it...

Caramel, butterscotch, citrus and pine greet the nose. Clear golden body topped by a low white head that recedes to cover. Flavour is as aroma suggests with fair bitterness and some light esters. Not very exciting but not bad. Medium light body with moderate carbonation. Pretty middle of the road but drinkable. Sampled at Mondial 2006.

Something of a malt aroma with citrus hop, but it leaves something of a floral impression? Very light amber color with a decently frothy near-white head. It did some lacing. Starts with a slight sour, perhaps medicinal, characteristic, reminiscent of some Siletz products, but not so strong. Definitely malt, and the finish seems decently bitter. Relatively dry. Seems a bit thin, but it’s nicely drinkable.

Received a single 12-oz bottle from oetiii in Antigo, WIsconsin. Pours a clear copper amber brew with a thick off-white and lumpy head that has some good retention and spotty lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, some ice tea, orange zest and a touch of Ivory soap. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonation with flavors of semi-sweet caramel malt, dried pears and apples, with a light herb hops flavor. Finish is a good balance of dryness and fruity character with a light bitterness in the background.
