Backlog. Yellowish golden colour with a mediumsized foamy white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is sweet malts, some grains, bread, grass, lime, citrus and mild herbal tones. Flavour is grainy, some lime, citrus, herbs and a bit earthy tones. Nice crisp malts in the finish.

Tap at Mikkeller Bangkok. Poured a very slightly hazy golden colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is malt, buttery, slightly vinous, woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a crisp fresh, malt, yeasty, buttery, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. As far as lagers go, this was prerty good, but I must say that it didn’t have any of the features of the style at all!

Can, 5.2%. Refreshing lagery aroma. Clear dark golden colour. Good stable white head. The flavour is dusty and nicely creamy. Tastes a little like vanilla or coconut, but it must be the spices or more precisely the oak spirals.
