Pale and hazy with a big head. Very floral aroma but also with an assertive breadcrusty character and nice dry-hops. Herbal, floral characer with hints of both sweetness and astringency. The yeasty finish is quite dry.

Bottle, 75cl corked. (RBNAG 07) Sure a quite special beer, but a real beauty. Pours a mostly clear, golden body with a white head. The flavor is flowery, slightly sweetish and with a pleasant spicyness from cinnamon and some ginger. The flavors has the same flowery and spicy approach, and there’s a malty, sugary background. Medium to full body. Long, sweetish finish with some ginger. Just lovely, pour me another one. (071103)

750ml bottle @ RBNAG’07. Clear golden body with a dense white head. Complex floral aroma, spicy and herbs. Flavor is also complex, not heavy. Aromatic flowers, spices. Sweet with an unusually sharp bitterness. Refreshing, strange and wonderful. The most interesting beer for me at this session.

2007-11-02, Papsoe Blind Tasting, corked bottle
Cloudy blond color; creamy head. Very strong herbal aroma (mhyrtle...), then some light fruitness and rubber. Medium body strength, medium sweetness, a bit malty, spicy (cardamom), fruity. Weird mix, but good.

From bottle, blind tasting at Papsoes - beer no 20. Pours hazy yellow with a diminished head. Heavy and soapy spiced aroma. Flavour is slight berry flavoured with a mild herbal note. Ends mellow with quite spiced finish. Sadly WAY overspiced.

Thin offwhite head. Golden body. Sharp floral herbal aroma with malty sweetness. Cinnamon and Christmas spice notes. Light acidic balanced barnyard taste with cinnamon, floral, and herbal notes. Some cardamom as well. Wonderful! (0.75l bottle at RBNAG’07.)

Sampled bottle, RBNAG 2007 in Grimstad. ABV was 7.7%. Brewed with edible flowers. Golden colour. Unusual aroma of various flowers and herbs + honey and oak. Herbal and very sweet flavour with notes of tobacco. A bit "too special" for me.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of boboski. Hazy golden with a tall and lively, off-white head leaving some lacework. Sweet, floral aroma. Medium body with a solid, pale malt base with very fruity and perfumed floral accents - lots of lavender in particular. There’s a vague, underlying tartness while the bitterness is very discreet. Interesting. 021107

750ml from beastiefan2k, enjoyed at my tasting 10/12. Pour is clear golden with a faded white head. Aroma of flowers, pure sweet light honey and cloves. Taste is really interesting, a super soft palate with flowers, spice and cloves shining gently through. Incredibly well balanced, and just a treat to enjoy. Thanks so much for this one, Eugene.
