Bottle. 2005. Ruby amber beer with a nice beige head. Sweet malt aroma with citrus and pine resin. Pine resin flavors with a nice malt backing. Good lingering hop bitterness. Alcohol warming.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Extremely black with a a small brownish head. Very dry with a characteristic burned malt. A bitterness more likely to come from the malt than from the hops.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pretty light golden, unfiltered wheat beer with a decent but not overwhelming head. Dry, actually very dry with a surprisingly high hoppiness (apparently from whole, fresh hops). Surprising as most European wheats are low on bitterness. Not as fruity or floral as German wheats, not as refined as Belgian. But quite it’s own personality.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Apparently the Yanks has this love affair with Pale Ale or IPA’s, tell me, what’s the story behind this? Did a Pommie colonial ship bound for India get stranded somewhere in the Nevada desert? Light amber, slightly hazy. Nice creamy head. Has this magnificently refined aroma from the use of excellent hops. Pronounced but not overwhelming bitterness. Very well done. Now even imported to Denmark - way to go.

Mine pours with a deep red with a nice fluffy white head. Aroma is of hops with a hint of fruityness. Flavor is heavy on the malts and you get some hops in there. Not the best barley wine i have had. Its more of a IPA than a barley but it is quite flavorful.

Bottle. Hoppy, citrusy aroma. Golden colour, stable head. Flowery, aromatic bitterness. Creamy head and mouthfeel. Distinct bitterness nicely balanced by the floweriness.

A hazy light yellow beer with a small white disappearing head. The aroma is primarily of wheat, but also quite spicy, and so is the flavor.

Bottled
Almost opaque dark brown, small creamy expresso head. Aroma is flowery hops. Medium-bodied, soft, flowery hops in mouthfeel, some roasted notes in the finish. Well-balanced, good porter.
