MoritzF (4856), Bochum, Germany Nov 2, 2009 (bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a small foamy white head. Slightly dusty and grainy malty nose with traces of fruity hops. Slightly sweet flavour with a shy level of bitterness, light bodied with a crispy carbonation. Pale malty, slightly grainy and juicy taste with subtle fruity and floral notes; moderately sweet, slightly grainy and fruity finish. Not very exciting. 02.XI.09 maeib (4677), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Sep 8, 2009 Bottled. A pretty light gold coloured beer with a minimal head. The aroma is zesty hoppy; there are good orange notes and various other citrus notes. The taste is hoppy and herbal. There are floral notes but also a bit of odd paper. Good although not perfect. wyzzywyz22 (754), Wirral, Merseyside, England Jul 23, 2009 Bottle, The Cave, Glasgow. Somewhat underwhelmed by this effort. Poured a yellowy gold colour with a dissipating off white head. Aroma was vague malt and hop with a perfumed accent. Flavour a bit too restrained and insipid. A little bit sweet and floral, but nothing really leapt out and tickled my taste buds. Drinkable but disappointing. fonefan (10868), VestJylland, Denmark Jul 12, 2009 Bottle 50cl. clear light to medium yellow color with a small to average, fizzy, good lacing, mostly diminishing, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, moderate hoppy, flowers, perfume, elderflowers, spicy - coriander. Flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. [20090514]
Papsoe (14613), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jun 26, 2009 Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a clear golden with a rough white head. Discreet aroma of malt. light body, fruit, a little ashes and a whiff of ginger. The finish is dry. 140509 buzzoven (333), Japan Jun 10, 2009 Bottle from Tanakaya. Pours a clear golden bright yellow with a sudsy foamy head. Very nice bready smell with some floury scents and slight biscuit notes. Taste is crisp, clean and smooth...as I was enjoying this first sip, thinking "Ok, it’s a smooth lager...drinkable, blah blah blah..." then the finish crept up on me with a sweet cotton candy-esque softness of flavours: honeysuckle, blueberry, pancake, caramel, slight hops, nice carbonation. I loved this and am surprised to find the overall rating kinda low. I predict that I will be drinking tons of this stuff this summer. A new favorite. yngwie (4880), Kristiansand, Norway Jun 1, 2009 Bottle. It pours a clear, almost golden body under a small, white head. Citrusy nose, borderline catpee, with some alcohol, spices and umami. The flavor starts spicy, then citrus, malts and umami shows up. Medium to full body. Resiny, bitter finish. A quite nice beer, pleasantly hopped, straight forward and easy drinkable. (090514) yespr (11613), Copenhagen O, Denmark May 15, 2009 50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is spiced, fruity and floral hoppy, promises a bit of sweetness too. Sweet, floral to fruity hoppy and light spiced. Mild malt base. Lasting sweet and bitter hoppy finish.
