Bottled. Hazy yellowish golden colour with a mediumsized white head, that leaves some lace. Aroma is fruity, yeasty, some mild herbal and grassy notes along with mild spicyness. Flavour is rather similar with quite interesting spicy finish. Doesn’t have any real aftertaste though.

Bottle @ Den Tatoverede Enke, Copenhagen. Hazy yellow / golden color with a average fair lacing white head. Aroma is moderate yeasty, bubble gum, hay, corn. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with some spices ?? a bit boring.

Huge, irregular, slightly off-white head, slightly hazy straw coloured beer, well carbonated. Spicey and blossomy nose; lime flowers, and camomille is what I get. Then very fresh, green hops emerge - British hops, I’d say. This nose is a marvel of subtlety. Taste: eughh. Gruelling combination of almonds, unroasted peanuts (arachide) and a spicey bitterness. Disconcerting in the extreme. Greenmalt, and unidentifyable spices. My companion says ensilaged grass. Some hops all the same - wild hops? Rather light MF. Nobody would dare to venture 9% ABV. That nose promised heaven. What is this arachide taste (in malt)? If you like this strange taste, this is murderously drinkable, as it appears light, but oh God if those 9% are real... I think those 9 spices were chosen because they smelt so good - but how they came out of a lagering tank was anybody’s guess...
