Sampled from a 16.9 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy orange-red color with a large orange-tan head. The aroma was sweet apple vinegar. The flavor was tart, bitter and tasted alot like apple vinegar. No maltiness at all. Obviously infected. I will not bother to get it again.

Århus2008. 50 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a lacing white head. Light malty and towards spiced aroma. Fruity and berry flavour with a light acidic touch and a mild bitterness. Dry and bitter finish.

500 ml. bottle as Wee Beast. Wild brew. Unpasteurized? Aromas of fruit, malt and wood. Very pleasant. Hazy reddish amber color with a decent beige head. Medium bodied with creamy carbonation. First taste hinted of wasabe. Weird on my part. It is darkish fruit, darkish sugar, and an underlying horseradish note - very faint, but I insist it’s there. Finishes fairly dry. Enough bitter to make a statement. Still, it’s the complexity of flavor that makes this beer excellent.

Pours deep gold into an English pint. Sickly off-white head leaves no retention as it subsides to scum surface. Mild fruit and caramel aromas. Smooth with upfront caramel and a lasting, slightly smoked hop finish.

500ml bottle - Pours hazy light amber with a one finger, long lasting head that leaves good lacing. The aroma is mainly caramel malt and some alcohol. The flavor is malt with toffee characteristics. The mild hops give it a nice balance and come through more strongly in the finish. Medium bodied, but a little watery, this brew is certainly enjoyable, though I’m still not convinced it’s worth the seven bucks the local pub charges. It is good though.

Cask (Pub at the Pier, Uig): Amber coloured, no head to speak of; sweetish-fruity nose with a tinge of cinnamon; medium to full bodied, solid sweetish flavour; becomes a bit hoppier towards the bitter-sweet finish. Nothing special, completely overrated

Bottle. Rich amber beer with a very low off-white head. Malty aroma with some slight smokiness. Malty flavor with slight earth and mineral tones. Medium body. Lingering mineral and malt. Straight forward and simple but not bad.
