| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 3, 2007 Bottle... Hazy, light golden lager with a huge, frothy, off-white head. Good retention. Grainy, slightly lactic nose with more than only a suggestion of cornmeal. The flavor’s a little on the tangy side. I get the feeling there would be more of a hop "snap" if not for the buffer (so to speak) provided by the acidity. Medium-bodied and fizzy with a crisp, modestly pungent, dry finish. With the haze, the huge head and the acidity, I’m thinking this bottle caught a little bug somewhere along the line. Oh well, it was enjoyable (maybe even more so, for me) nonetheless. A big SHOUT goes out to aofoxxy for providing the bottle of this classic beer! yespr (12407), Copenhagen O, Denmark
