Århus2008. 50 cL bottle, came as OHanlons Wheat Beer. Pours cloudy yellow with a fully diminishing and then lacing white head. Mild yet nicely hoppy aroma. Sweet flavour with a light hoppy fruit note. Ends mild fruity and light bitter. This beer obviosly hold more hops that wheat, I assume the wheat is there for the body and not aroma nor flavor. Simple, yet nice and refreshing.6-3-6-3-12=3.0
From cask at Charlies. Pours cloudy to hazy yellow/orange with a lacing off-white head. Hops fruity and vague estery aroma. Flavour starts sweet hops fruity and gives away a mild ester wheat note. Goes slight bitter. Lingering fruity and biter dry finish. A bit flat.7-3-7-3-13=3.3

Vintage 2005. Pours reddish brown with no head whatsoever. Strong aromas of sweet malts and alcohol. Flavors of darkfruits, raisins and figs. Tastes like port wine. No carbonation at all. It’s surprising that there is no alcohol taste because it was evident in the aroma. Full body with a syrupy mouthfeel. Very different, very interesting. A great sipper. I have 4 more bottles of this vintage in my cellar. Can’t wait to try one with some more age on it.

Slightly foggy, amber body under a naked surface. Rather weak in both aroma and flavour. Some hoppy notes can be detected added by a touch of smooth bitterness on the swallow (half pint from cask at Market Porter after a shopping session at Utobeer, 01.05.2008).

Cask @ The Warf/Aalborg (named Hooker six nation 2008 – in accordance with my reliable source, this should be the same beer). Hazy, dark golden body with a small off-white head. Refreshing, fruity aroma of peaches and yeast. Flavor is sweet malt, bitter, citrus fruity and some caramel. Medium body and light hoppy finish.
