Bottled. 6,3% ABV. Quite pale, golden beer, with the usual small, white head. Malty aroma. Malty flavor too. Good body with a clean, crisp hoppy finish. Decent strong lager? Yes. Christmas beer? Definately not. Rating: 3-2-4-4-8-2.1. 060110
On tap at The Wharf. It pours a clear, golden body and a finger-thick white head leaving lacings. Grainy and fruity on the nose, boring but pronounced. Smooth and medium bodied. The flavor has pale malts, fruits and a fine hoppy bitterness. Bitter and malty finish. Far from a Christmas beer in my book, but pleasant and with a nice bitterness, although rather boring. 101204

Bottled. Gold, quickly thinning white head and moderate condition. Aromas of grainy malt and alcohol. Quite thin with some traces of fruity malt in the mouth and a developing dry hoppy bitterness in the finish but still with fairly noticable alcoholic notes.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pale golden with the tiniest head. Weak, soft aroma of malt. Very ligh-bodied with a note of cardboard. Very subdued bitterness. A good quencher I reckon - if nothing else. 301005

A yellow beer with a disappearing white head. The aroma is quite hoppy but also with notes of corn, and hints of straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of corn and malt, leading to a dry hoppy end. Get the corn out of my beer.

A yellow beer with a beutiful head. The aroma is sour because of the brewing cereal used - not very inviting. The flavor is dominated by the taste of the brewing cereal and ends off quite weak before the nice bitterness sets in. An OK beer but nothing more than that.
