Can from Havnens Vin Og Tobakhus. Pours cloudy golden with huge white head. Aroma is malt, grapefruit, orange, melon, lemon, peach and latex. Taste is very sweet, medium bitter and light acidic. Body is oily with fizzy carbonation. Finish is long and very sweet, but also medium bitter with notes of melon, orange, grapefruit, peach, spruce, and hints of latex.

Pours rather clear blonde. Medium small white head. Scent is fairly mild. More on the crystal malts than the piney hops. Taste is medium vitter , low for the style. Caramel malts but also something dusty, aged about it, bit honeyed malts as well. Bbd 10 + months ahead though, and bought from a fridge... Decent beer, but not meeting expectations, let alone hopes. Also quite punchy on the alcohol, not at all smooth...
