[330ml bottle from Waitrose, Tilehurst] Amber with a moderate white head and middlin’ fizz. Rather unpleasant soapy aroma. Taste is better - the green, wet leaves of lager hops are are offset by sweet caramel and a nutty malt. Mouthfeel is odd - buttery, sticky and drying all at the same time. It grew on me by the end - I’m no lager fan, but this was better than most.

Bottled from Bierzwerg. Nice amber color with small white head. Nice lacing. Aroma, malt, with chestnut hints. taste starts sweet, roasted chestnut in middle, bittersweet finish. Drinkable beer.

750 ml. Deep, clear amber body. Fizzy, off-white head. Malty aroma of toasted grain, nuts and hints of caramel, spice, earthiness, wood along with some vegetal notes. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture and lively carbonation. The taste on the front of the tongue is earthy and husky. the finish leaves tastes of wood, caramel, raw grain. Plenty of bitterness, but the malts are dominant throughout.

Warning! Early amateur rating! A light floral wheat beer. Very pale - hint of orange. Refreshing. Dry finish. Good stuff.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Crisp and dry beer. A bitter and smoky flavour blooms and carries through the finish to the aftertaste. Gets better if you persevere but not great.

330ml bottle picked up at Waitrose Bloomsbury, London and shared with Finn back home. Opaque, golden-yellow. Some head-lacing. Cat pee hops to the nose plus a dash of sweet wheat. Malted wheat in flavour and a bit of sweet fruits, like banana. Very sweet on the back of the tongue. Overall too sweet (at Finns in Tromsø, 27.10.2010).

Flaske 0,33l delt med Rune. Lys gulhvit. Litt uklar - men med mye sedimenter i siste kvell. OK kremskum. Antydning til sitrusaroma. Litt duft av annen frukt. Smaken er brødaktig. Søtt helhetsinntrykk. Lite kullsyre.

(bottle, 25cl) Clear, pale golden colour with a fluffy white foam. Sour doughy and strawy malty aroma with a whiff of grassy hops. Moderately bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a calm, even a bit flat carbonation. Strawy malty taste with shy grassy notes towards the bitter-sweet and slightly sticky finish. A plain Lager. 01.XI.10

750 cl bottle, champagne cork. Hazy yellow, no need for an extra cork, as there is very light carbonation.. Pored into a Weizen glass. It looks and smells like weak lemonade. The head was small. Left no lacing. Fresh citrus, some lemon in the finish. A hint of wheat. Thirst-quencher, not much more. It would be nice on a hot summer day after yard work. But over all, nothing to get you excited.

Found this at a small charcuterie in the Latin quarter, in large gift boxes. Passed then, but then found it again in single bottles at La Grande Epicerie near Jardin de Luxembourg. Pours with lots of head and a foggy yellow colour, but lots of floaters, looks like swamp water in fact, somewhat unappetizing. Aroma is rotten cheese, smelly armpits, and burning garbage. Phew! Taste isn’t as bad, a mix of lemon, corn, and wheat. Extremely unrefined, closer to a messed up homebrew than something I’d expect to buy in a store. Or did I just get a bad bottle?
