No Country for Old Grain

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, orange-golden colour with a blond foamy layer. Fruity and slightly resin-spicy hoppy aroma with notes of citrus, grapefruit and tropical accents, backed by a mildly wheat-malty touch. Sweet-bitter flavour, medium to light bodied with a spritzy carbonation. Mildly wheaty base with hints of caramel, present citric and resiny hops, almost a tad sprucey, leading into a dry-ish and moderately hop bitter finish. Not very complex, nevertheless quite good. 20.VI.16

Bottle courtesy of anstei. Glowing cloudy golden color with white head. Aroma is oranges, tropical fruits, some wheat. Taste is a bit tangy, more oranges and tropical fruits, sweet, medium-bitter finish, silky mouthfeel. Fine-bubbled ticklish carbonation. Nice, but that spiciness is a bit irritating.

Clear amber, gold with little white head. Aroma is melon, peach, and other fruity hops. Taste is surprisingly sweet (sugary, like a Kellerbier) with more bitterness in the finish. Easy to drink. Summery. But the finish is not much else than bitter. Overall good.

Bottle. Golden, hazy, light floaties from transport, low offwhite head. Citrus, peach, banana schnapps or Curaçao aroma. Medium body, mellow mouthfeel, light mealy character. Minerally spice on the palate, fruity and perfumed, slightly sticky finish. Interesting.

Bottle from Beers’n’More. Nose of pine, wheat, some mango fruitiness. Sweet taste, medium to full body, lively but not overdone carbonation, medium bitterness, slightly oily. Very little butter or onion for once with S&A. Tasty and fresh!
