Miksu (2187), Jyväskylä, Finland Dec 31, 2008 12 oz bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2008, 4.7 %. Slightly hazy golden color. Grassy and grainy aroma with watermelon, sea air and glue, the arma is slightly off. Sweetish, grainy, honeyish, bready and somewhat fruity flavor with orange marmelade, mango and apricot. No hops. Glue like off flavor. FROTHINGSLOSH (1961), GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 3, 2008 Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy yellow-gold color with a large yellow-white head. The aroma was sweetish, peppery and lightly yeasty. The flavor was sweettart candies with with touches of artificial citrus and yeastiness. Decent body. Ok. daknole (2805), Plantation, Florida, USA Nov 29, 2008 2 oz tasting, and that was plenty. Yellow pour, white head. aroma is yeasty, citrus and boring. Flavor is even worse than the aroma. Weak, watery and grainy. blah. Beerman6686 (1266), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 21, 2008 Poured a somewhat cloudy weak yellow color with a white head. aroma was very bland but had hints of some spices and the general wheaty smell. Flavor was much better than aroma, although a bit watery, very nicely balanced, not off flavors and even some nice spice hints come through. Rciesla (3510), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Oct 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy golden body with a 2 finger white head. Lemon, citrus, from the wheat dusty, some light spices. Overall pretty lame for the style. ilovedarkbeer (1326), Dallas, Texas, USA Oct 15, 2008 Actually better than I expected. Pours a hazy golden color with a medium to large sized foamy white head. Nose is a bit of spice, wheat, and honey. Taste is about the same. Nothing offensive here and pretty well balanced. Underrated IMO. unclemike (834), Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA Oct 3, 2008 This beer pours gold with a slight chill haze that fades as it warms up. The aroma is apparently devoid of all hop aroma. Slight maltiness, vague fruitiness (almost like the dried rasberry aroma from the raspberry black tea my wife drinks.) Not bad, but infinitely forgettable oh6gdx (8801), Vasa, Finland Sep 29, 2008 Bottled@SBWF2008. Hazy golden colour, small white head. Aroma is wheat, fudge, caramel and some mild hints of hops. Flavour is hops, fruits, wheat and some grassy notes. Refreshing.
