bottle from rema1000 clear brown, smooth light brown head. Aroma is malty and a tiny bit citrussy. gone bad? flavor is malty, slightly caramelly, flowery or citrussy note - kind of that you might find in a mexican sol with the lemon added, and I am quite confused what that flavor note is doing here. apart from the weird citrussy note, the beer is a decent classic style brew, with a decent mouthfeel. Interesting.. but not one I would get more of.

50 cl bottle from a Coop 365 discounter. 10 dkk. Poured into a Snifter. Pitch black with a creamy tanned head. All of that E150 colouring is not wasted! Sweet aroma with caramel malts, toasted bread, coffee, liquorice and a rough bitterness. Taste is sweet. Medium to full body. Dying roasted bitter finish with a grainy, dusty feeling. Obviously a beer brewed at a price point.

Bottle, 4.7%. Lagery and caramelly aroma. Clear copper colour. Small white head. The flavour is sweet and sourish, like high gravity brewed. Bready finish. Ok mouthfeel.

--Sample, thanks fonefan! -- Black, small brown head. Aroma of tobacco and licorice. Mid sweet with medium to full body and rounded mouthfeel. Tobacco, licorice dark chocolate and coffee. Mid bitter finish.

Draught in Livorno: pours clearish brown with white head. Aroma is dark fruit, some pine or something. Somewhat bitter. Light sweetness. Good enough.

IPA by Albani, a Danish brewery dating back to the 19th century but now – along with Ceres and other brands – under Royal Union. Egg-white, creamy, membrane-lacing, stable head over a misty peach blonde beer with beige-ish tinge and visible sparkling. Aroma of fresh wormwood or dandelion leaf, grapefruit peel, old bread crust, dried sage, herbes de Provençe, ‘soup meat’ note somewhere (proteins), rose petals, chervil soup, marjoram, white pepper. Clean onset, dryish with notes of dried old orange peel and unripe peach, lively carbonation, supple body; rounded and somewhat oily, bread-crusty, grainy malt bill bittered by very herbal hoppiness, reminiscent of dried grapefruit peel but equally so of marjoram, rosemary and chervil. A long, leafy, quinine-like, resinous bitterness ensues; aspects of ‘green herb soup’ and ‘herbes de Provençe’ linger, instead of the fresh, radiant exotic fruitiness and sweet citrusiness I was expecting from an IPA showcasing Mosaic. Not extremely unpleasant or anything like that, just failing to deliver what it promises and below average in that sense – or, indeed, a rather awkward attempt at postmodern IPA by an old brewery who made its fame and fortune long before the craft beer movement came about, like we see popping up in Belgium every now and then as well… Could have been an old keg as well so I’ll give this the benefit of the doubt until I can obtain a fresh can.
