Blind tasting at Papsø’s
Cloudy deep blond color. Sour aroma, with lemon and tangerine, light malt, very light flowers too; interesting. It has a medium body, with light malt flavor, the sourness is not too strong, there is a fruity touch that reminds apples, along with the citrus fruits, and, mostly interesting, a delicate hazelnut touch. The final is delicate, lemony. Very good.

Hazy yellow with tiny white short lasting head. Sourish aroma with notes of peach and wood. Sourish flavour with barnyard, peach and brett notes. Sourish finish.
