Bottle @ Odense Summer Tasting, 2011. Pours clear golden with a small creamy white head and lacings. Yeast, peach and grain. Dry and fairly bitter. A bit of a homebrew feel to it.

Bottled. I had no idea that beer could be this cold 150 years ago - the mother of all traditional aleen. A hazy dark golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of straw, malt, and minerals. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, malt, and minerals as well as a touch of spices, leading to a dry finish. Very traditional.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a cloudy golden with a small off-white head. Sweet fruity nose with a slightly spicy touch. Medium body, a little fruit and caramel with quite some metal and a herbal bitter finish - quite a bitter finish. 220611
