33cl bottle from Vinmonopolet Storo. Pours pretty hazy amber with a lasting white head. Fruity, malty, caramely and spicy aroma with notes of flowers, honey, yeast and dried fruits. Sweet, fruity and flavourful with some hoppy notes and a light bitterness in the finish. Surprisingly nice and well balanced. Hint of alcohol is noticeable, but this is dangerously drinkable and certainly a brew a would like to drink again.

Straight from Kobe Bryant! Pours a dark hazy brown with a creamy brown head that dissipates to the edges slowly. Aroma has a choclatey roast with a note of hops and menthol. Flavor starts with chocolate and roasted malts and a hint of citrus but finish is all menthol.

Bottle, Hoppy Loft. Well, well, my second Simcoe lager. Dominating in that category, I am. Poured a hazy yellow-golden body with a medium sized white head. Kinda sweaty agrumey grainy nose. Light herbal aromatic grainy taste. Surprisingly pleasant. Like a lighter Rulles Estivale (thanks to the bartender for giving me a chance to reevaluate that one!). The world needs more lagers like this.

Hazy blond color with generous compact head and sticky lace. Aroma of fruity hops and spicy yeast, mild. Dry mouthfeel, soft, well carbonated; the malt flavor is well spicy; correctly bitter, but without clear hop qualities; long final, Belgian style, a bit sandy.
Good beer, well brewed, should have been drunk earlier.
2012-11-20, draught at La Fine Mousse, Paris, 8-4-7-4-15=38
Hazy deep blond color with generous creamy head. Nice aroma, spicy (coriander) with hints of oranges, pine and frankincense. The mouthfeel is quite dry; malt flavor, with nice spicy profile, strong bitterness, but no much fruity presence.
Good.

Small off-white head; well-carbonated, hazy ochre-yellow beer and faint mossy sheen. Despite the naming, especially dry pale malts spreading upon opening. Bit rainwater, grassy. Little hops, in fact. Grassy, herbal, dry, but definitely more hoppy flavourwise - if rather oxydated ones. Rather watery MF, again rainwater-like feel. Well-carbonated, little going on. Underhopped as a ’typical’ USA lager, underpowered as a Pilsner. But - quite refresing, easily drinkable.
