A big thanks to puzzl for getting me this pilsner. 12 oz can as pictured. Looks like any other pale yellow american lager but has a big creamy head, even when poured gently. Not much aroma, just clean wet hay and lacks any of the bad odor attributes of many lagers or pilsners. Good amount of carbonation but could use a tad more. Taste is grassy and haylike, very friendly and palatable. Much better and less bitter than most pilsners I’m familiar with. Easy to get along with and perhaps would make a decent session brew, even tho the %alky is not listed here. Finish does have a mild bitter linger to it but it’s not quite as bitter or lingering as most pilsners, and I’m glad of it. Comes across almost wheat beerish in nature.

Can: Awesome art on the can! Deep copper orange pour with a large sandy head. Thick, sticky lacing. Aroma is malty and dusty? Malty into florals and herbal tones. Really, this is an IPA? Malty dominance and bits of floral hops. The hophead in me is left unsatisfied. Back to the fridge I go...

Can: Thistle aroma with a slight woodiness. Dark, cloudy, amber with a thick yellow head. Flavorful orange and orange peel, but thinnish mouthfeel. Quite good for the price.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Degarth. Vintage 2004. Pours an unclear amber golden with a bubbly, off-white head that dissipates completely in no time. Fat aroma of caramel and overripe fruit. Full-bodied with plenty of sweet caramel notes, overripe fruit, herbs and toffee. Has a slight touch of hops in the finish. Quite lovely really and seems to get better with age. 250308

Bottled. An unclear dark amber beer with a rim of orange head. The aroma is acidic malty combined with notes of wood - I thought it had been barrel-aged. The flavor is slightly acidic with strong notes of over ripe fruits as well as lighter notes of wood. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Sampled at Manhattan Cask Fest - cloudy brown beer - aroma of scotch, oak, vanilla, coconut, roasted nuts - kind of boozy up front, but it mellows out, revealing coconut, oak, banana, some flowery notes, and background spices - notes of brown sugar makes things a little too sweet - alcohol is heavy in the finish, but the scotch flavors make it a little more tolerable - there are a lot of conflicting flavors going on that make this a confusing experience.
