Draught@SBWF2007. Reddish golden colour with mediumsized beige creamny head. Aroma is hops, some earth and some slight hops. Flavour is leather, some nice flowery hops and quite much grass. Pleasant.

(On tap) Very pale golden with a small, white and lacing head. Slightly sweet and perfumy fruit notes in the aroma. Medium-bodied, sweetish - but not in any sticky way - apple and actually also pear notes. Almost no sourness but lots of carbonation. This comes close to some of the commercial Swedish ciders albeit not as sweet. Very high drinkability - just as Sprite has. 040907

RB #1500, thanks to sk8viking for the bottle: 50 cL bottle. Pours hazy brown/amber with a little lacing off-white head. Sweet caramel malty and grapefruit aroma, very inviting. Low carbonation, which I assume is a flaw of the bottled version and sadly makes the beer rather flat. Flavour is roasted malt, slight dark caramel flavour. Crisp. Fruity and subdued bitterness rising towards the finish where the flavour gets very dry. Not quite as good as the initial handbrew, but still quite enjoyable.
Rating of the homebrew: Pours unfiltered orange. Aroma is a strong aroma hops note. Fantastic clean aroma hoppy with a distinct hit of the caramel malt profile. Extremely impressive palate from the aroma hops blending nicely in with the caramel malt. Fantastic bitter finish. 8-4-8-4-16 4.0

Muddy amber with no head or lacings (looks like a british barley wine) Sweet sugary/caramel aroma. Taste is the same with some noticeable hops. The carbonation is extremely flat & the body is very thin. Very difficult to enjoy!

Very dark copper colour with a small off-white head. Initial aroma of hoppy citrus, pine and peach. Then comes some great notes of malt and toffee. The malt also plays an important part in the flavour, adding a rich caramel flavour to the fruity sweetness and intense American hop flavour. Finishes very bitter. Excellent balance of sweet and bitter, malt and hops. The hops is what you would expect, but the use of darker and flavourful malts (munich?) makes it stand out from the average microbrew IPA.

(Draught at Plan B, Copenhagen, 3 Aug 2007) Pale yellow colour with white head. Malty nose with clean aromas of grassy hops and timothy-grass. Malty taste with slightly strained notes of grassy hops. Rather dry. Very pilsnerish in style and surprisingly good.

Bottle at RBESG 2007. Russet, tan head. Sweetish aroma. Sweet in mouth. Sultanas. Bit of coffee. Re-rate:- Exactly the same score at Chris_o birthday bash 08. Rather a good strong beer. OK malts. Bit sour. Decent.

Draft. A light yellow cider with no head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of apples, and so is the flavor, with a very slight acidity, and the body is thin. A boring cider, though it’ll only offend cider lovers, not the mainstream drinker. But I like cider - and this is supposed to be medium dry - well it’s not - it’s sweet - and I like medium dry or even drier.

25 cL from tap at Ølbaren. Pours with no head and pale yellow. Aroma is minor sweet and only vaguely of apple. Flavour is apple citric and sweet. Mild apple finish. More an apple juice than a cider quite thin. Mild to bland.

I thought I had rated this but apparently not, this is one of the beers on tap at Gæstgivergården in Allinge, Bornholm - a strange summer-refugium for artists from Copenhagen. They seem to stay here for free as long as they just give 1 or 2 performances in the evening. The owners seem to care for 4 beers: Hoegarden, 2 Cuban brews (Palma Cristal and Bucanero Fuerte) and then this from Braunstein:
Pours light yellow to orange, a bit hazy, little white head. Aroma is minimal citric hoppy with a slight spice note, malty. Flavour mild grainy, malty again with a small spicetwist. Dry hoppy finish.
I only drank this during the evenings we dined and enjoyed music from Nulle og Verdensorkesteret and Peter Sommer as I couldn’t care less for the two Cuba InBrew bottles that the fancy artists kept drinking, I assume that they must have thought they’re fashionable doing so - that made me chuckle on the inside
