Plenty of hop aroma, good flavour for a lager and good lingering bitterness. Seconds definitely, but in warmer weather. nate2g (1103), Brisbane, Australia

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 7, 2008 (Bottle 33 cl) Clear, deep golden with a white, lacing head. Aroma of caramel and overripe fruit. Medium body with dry caramel accents, perhaps a little fruit and a dry, lightly bitter finish with a whiff of sulphur. Very clean and straight. Funny fact: this comes in a fresh Danish beer bottle, complete with the word "ŘL" in the glass bottom. Weird. 290108 TheGrandMaster (1869), Auckland, New Zealand
