Hardly any head; what’s there appears to be finely laced. Aroma is quite faint when cold, but has a mix of malts and citrusy hops. Taste is quite big, yet very clean and smooth (extremely harmonic). Again malts and citrusy hops with some metal notes. Metal notes grow stronger when warm. Finish is bitter, but not very. Very nice! A light, highly drinkable, and still interesting IPA. A nice complement to the stronger ones from Nøgne Ø. (This is also the only IPA approved by my girlfriend, which says something about the drinkability.)

Bottled at RBESG. Golden colour. Aroma of banana and caramel. Sweet with rounded mouthfeel, restrained fruitiness. Despite it’s esters it feels straightforward, but also refreshing and pleasant. --- Beer merged from original tick of Bavaria on 22 Sep 2008 at 10:57 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 5.5. Original review text: Bottled at European Beer Festival, Copenhagen. Cloudy mustard yellow. Spicy nose with a mere touch of banana. Sweet with clean, somewhat spritzy mouthfeel. Light-medium bodied, a slight bit sharp with restrained wheat flavours. No bitterness. beers with this clean mouthfeel does not work overly well as refreshers.

Bottled at RBESG. Cloudy amber. Vague orange aroma overpowered by alcohol. Sweet and solidly malty with notes of peach and clean mouthfeel. The hops add bitterness but not much aroma and flavour. Simple.

(Bottle 50 cl) Golden, blond beer with a small, white head. Nose full of yeast and perhaps a dash of coriander. Very malty, taste of yeast and citrus. Soft, smooth and rather pleasant. Typical Belgian Blond Ale. 120805

(Bottle 50 cl) Slightly hazy, orangey golden with a small, creamy head. Slightly unpleasant phenolic aromas. Malty with a weird tartness and a dry, rough, bitter finish. No real pleasure. 120805
