Pours deep gold with copper core and thin white head. It has a mild aroma of soft subtle malt sweetness, mild caramelized malts and more sweetness. The taste is much the same as the nose with smooth blended malts and creamy floral hops (could that be right?), hints of spices like coriander and other less discernables. Wow, so smooth and crazy drinkable. Ends with lingering light colored fruity esters and a sense of dryness. YUM!!

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of straw, fruit, spices, and caramel. The flavor is sweet mlaty with notes of fruit - especially peaches and oranges, but also a light touch of yeast, before a dry and rather bitter finish sets in.

(Bottle 50 cl) Lot no. 11559 Courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours a cloudy, orangey golden with a nice, off-white head. Fresh and rather fruity nose. The body is solid with a sweetish, malty nose, some fruit and a somewhat tired finish. 100507

Bottled. A clear, golden, lightly sparkling beer. It has a quite malty nose, with beefstock, hops and pine. The flavor is beefstock, malt, sweetness and maybe a bit low on the hops. Full to medium body, quite silky. A really lovely beer that is well suited for an anniversary. Thx to KnutAlbert for this rare gem. (070213)

Medium white head; brown body with carbonation. Light caramelly hop aroma, very harmonic. Sweetish nutty caramel taste with dry, caramelly aftertaste. Very harmonic and balanced. Extremely drinkable. Dry, light citrusy edge. (0.5l bottle. Thanks to KnutAlbert for this one!)

500ml bottle. Deep and clear amber. Lasting off-white head. Hoppy aroma. Intense and depth flavour of herbs, yeast and dark berries. Full bodied. Some alcohol notes towards the end. More than alright, but somehow a bit out of balance (The Lamb, London 18.09.2006).

Bottle at GBBF 2006. Bottle number 11567. Never seen this before. Gold, copper with bubbly off white head. Youngs yeast and attractive hop aroma. Quite strong alcohol. Chewy. Just a bit too carbonated. OK malts but maybe a bit thin. Don’t think that it was bottle conditioned which would account for the thinness of the malts.
