Medium coarseish offwhite head. Amber body. Strong harmonic aroma of papery caramel with notes of modelling clay. Dryish kind of sharp papery caramel taste dominates all the way through the aftertaste. Light and mild mouthfeel somewhat obscured by the sharpness of the taste. Minty grassy notes and some fruity straw can be made out. Dry papery caramel aftertaste settles in the mouth, making me want to rinse it. If this were a little less sharp and papery it would be a nice beer. Interestingly, when the beer warms the sharp papery taste becomes less prominent (without disappearing), making the beer more balanced, and citrus notes appear. Becomes more delicate, too. Bitterish aftertaste. (0.75l bottle from Fine Foods at Kastrup airport.)

bottle, as extra økologisk. (could this be a new version of the beer, given some ingredients probably changed) great pilsener aroma, quite strong, some hops. pours clear golden, yellowy-white head. flavor is hops, beer tast5es, faint spices, great for a pilsener. palate is super soft, almost buttery. overall i was thinking what a nice beer, not as i remember it. it’s so well done. i wonder if the change to ecologic also changed some aspects of the flavor.

(Draught on 2008-08-15) Golden. Clear. Medium-sized white head that disappered quickly. Furity and hoppy nose. Medium-bodied palate with medium carbonation, dry. Hops, fruitiness, bitterness and bit of salty liquorice in taste.

On tap at the brewhouse (CVC) in Copenhagen. Shared with Finn A. Thin, white head over a crystal clear, amber-golden body. Malty-sweet nose. Mild in flavour with herbs, grain and hops. Medium bodied. Smooth mouthfeel. More than average for the style, in other words; a decent pilsener (29.05.2008).

Draught@Beer Hunters as "Extra Pils"
Clear amber color, small white head. A bit perfumic, woody-malty aroma. Quite malty, alcoholic, ryeish flavor. Also some sweetness. Bittery aftertaste. Kind of unbalanced feeling. Anyway not a disaster, drinkable.

Bottle, 75cl. Slightly unclear, golden beer with a minimal-sized off-white head. Grainy nose with cooked vegetables, hops and a herbal note. The flavor is more pleasant, with hops and grainy maltyness, leading to a refreshing and bitter finish. Medium body. Pleasant and refreshing, not worth repeating or worth the price though. (071228)
