Commercial Description:
Road trips are carefree adventures that usually take unexpected twists, like when we created this beer. It started out as a Pilsner recipe, but halfway through it blew a tire and Ale yeast was put on as the spare. The result was so good, it never could have been planned!

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a thin lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of sweet fruits - peaches and lemons, as well as some malt and hops. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of fruits and cardemomme, as well as medium notes of malt, leading to a dry spicy finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is dry grassy and slight spiced. Bitter and wheaty flavoured, light sweetness and mild spiced. Lingering hoppy and light fruity finish.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of brentfeesh. Pours a hazy yellow with a rough white head. Citrusy hop aroma. Medium body, a little fruit and surprisingly hoppy finish. A very decent effort. 091109

Bottle. Pours a golden body with a white head. Malty body with some sweet caramel, sweeter citrus, and bitter earth tones. Yeasty with hints of pepper and bitter hoppiness. Nice.

On tap in a pint glass. Thinking this was a golden or pils gone wrong, I was expecting so much yummy hop flavor. It’s not bitter by any means but it has a nice hop flavor that goes down nice and easy.

Bottle from Whole Foods. Pours a clear straw golden with a dissipating white head. Aroma of white bread, cereal grains, biscuit, and European hops. Light bodied with average carbonation. Flavor is like a blend between a Kolsch and a hopped up Pilsner. You have some fruitiness mixed in with Pilsner malts and a bold spicy bitterness. Leafy herb bitter finish that hangs on for bit. A tad amount of soapiness distract some. Overall it’s interesting though. Not bad for an accident. A little less hops might balance this out some.
