6.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7
Bottle: Orangey coloured, stable foamy layer; sweetish-sourish-fruity nose (citrus fruit with - maybe - a tinge of coriander), moderate sweetish-sourish flavour with a light bitterness, quite light bodied; citrusy aromas in the drier, sourish finish, followed by a faint bitterness in the aftertaste. Good, refreshing stuff.......

Bottle from Ledgers; BB Feb 09; Nose of banana esters, spices, caramel and yeast; clear darl gold with a small off white head; flavor with caramel, light fruitiness, spices, and some background hop bitterness, the mild hops lasting into a very tiny bitter finish!

5.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 4.5
Bottled. Pours a very murky dark brown almost opaque colour and has a huge creamy beige head. Aroma is alcohol, acidic fruits and some toffee. Flavour is toffee, malts and alcohol. Slight metallicness in the finish. Quite thin and watery palate. The alcohol in aroma and flavour pretty much ruins it.

Never knew this existed until found one at my company party. Boy was I surprized. Looks like any other pale yellow american beer. Aroma of yeast and when you taste it, it’s a bit bitter initially but not terribly. Regular beer flavor, nothing really different that I could pick out. Could be a bit less offensive on the taste buds. Nice tingly carbonation that picks at the back of your tongue. Finish is not real offensive but does linger for a while.

Tried this at the brewery. A nice strong light ale. Malty, sweet, yet crisp at the same time. Nice big head that had a tendency to overflow the glasses. Definately a good beer. Maybe one day I’ll try the other Straffe Hendrick beers.

[Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm] Clear golden, rocky head. Vinous black currant dominate the aroma. Light bodied with sparkling mouthfeel. Has a fresh citric character, sort of wild yeast of Brettanomycaes type. Very interesting beer!
