Tap tasted on Swakopmund August 2013. Large head with sweet taste and aceptable carbonation. A bit light for a german hefeweizen but it was a nice beer in a nice place. Next one please!

Bottle at The Ale House, Chelmsford. Clear golden colour with a small white head. Aroma of fruit and malt. Medium sweet and medium body, least highly carbonated of the 3 Camelthorn beers Ale House had, but still over carbonated for my liking. Slight bitterness to finish. Best of the 3 I have tried from thie brewer.

Bottle at The Ale House, Chelmsford. Bronze colour, a little cloudy, with a thin off white head. Aroma is a mix of wheat, fruit and yeast. Sweet and sour taste, rather sharp, and far too highly carbonated. Not great.

340ml bottle, 6 % abv, picked up at Vinmonopolet Vika in Oslo and shared with Finn back home. A gusher. Unclear dark brown body with a rustic shade. Fast diminishing tan-coloured head. Tart and sweet aroma of dried fruits and yeast. Unsuccessful blend of yeast, caramel malts and sour fruits. Foamy and empty in the mouth. Drain pour (mass online tasting, Tromsø 03.12.2013).

0.34l bottle. After the pop it slowly rises and definitely wants out of the bottle. Easy to see that this has way to much carbonation when pouring it in the glass, cause it immediately forms a gigantic kinda dirty beige looking top that quickly fizzes away. When it has settled it's clear that this is a cloudy really deep dark wood brown colored beer. The nose is a mix between sour wood and sweet caramel. A bit strange to say the least. I have my suspicions that there might be a little infection going on here. Yeah, ehm. This is not drinkable. Soapy water added lemon and wood chips - leaving it for a year in a clear bottle and you might get something like this. Well, perhaps I'm a bit rough now, but this is a horrible tasting thing. Should I perhaps for the first time ever go back to the place I bought this and demand my money back? Tempting, but if I know myself I won't. Anyhow, this is rubbish. Stay clear! 14.09.2013
