Hazy light yellow body, thick off-white head. Strong coriander and spice aroma, dry. Creamy body dominated by coriander, lacks sharpness or bite. Ester- and spice-dominated. Average.

Sampled at Hills Market beer tasting. This brew is a clear copper color with a medium and fizzy white head that burns off fairly fast. Spotty lacing on the glass. Mildly piney hops with touches of citrus in the nose. Medium-bodied with hops over sweet toffee and malt flavors. The finish is dry and short with a slight grapefruit aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Short stubby brown bottle with a twist off cap. Twist the lid for an off musty initial olfactory impact. This clears to a more hoppy aroma in the glass. A little more orange color than the ubiquitous pale yellow lager. Not quite oppressive hops, but the hop bitter bite is present. Mildly entertaining. Decent medium carbonation. Friendly at times but then it bites back. Hop bitterness is the major attribute during the finish but there is a building malt or alky back of throat bitter bite also.

bottle - Pours copper and clear with a medium sized head that fades to thin and then lingers indefinitely and leaves excellent lacing. The aroma is dominated by the citrus hops. The flavor is mainly those hops (Cascade?) and some light caramel malts. It’s a little watery, lightly carbonated, and very easy to drink. While I’d prefer some more intense flavor and a more full body, this beer would be easy to drink all night.

Sourish tart aroma, looks like a ubiquitous pale yellow american lager beer. Pretty nice creamy head. Stronger initial flavor hit that starts off mild then goes into building alky bitter bite. Unique suspicious taste. Sullen and brisk, this beer tastes about as the 7% would indicate. Strong americanized tripel alky flavors. Irresolute and spirited. Finish is quite medicinal, alky and I think it is oppressive at times. Does have a male goat kick. Cannot hold a candle to Nova Paka Valdstein or Victory St. Boisterous Hellerbock.

bottle - Pours slightly hazy yellow with a thin head. It has a light yeast aroma with a touch of citrus. The flavor and mouthfeel is pretty light as I’d expect for the style. There’s yeast, wheat, mild hops, and some very light citrus flavor. This one is a pretty mediocre hefeweizen.

From tap. Pours golden yellow with a white head. Aroma is hay and corn. Flavour is corn, soft malty with a slight sweetness. Bittersweet finish. OK maibock but doesn’t really match the original German ones.

Sample from tap at the brewery. Pours golden yellow with a white head. Aroma of cardemmo, strictly slight soapy. Flavour is cardemom, soft sweetness going into a cardemom bitterness blend. Slight soapy finish. I guess this could work for Christmas, but I guess that the 2nd/3rd etc generation scandinavians in Minnesota have taste buds for this I don’t have as a Dane.
