Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm Clear pale golden, firm rocky head. Papery alt aroma. Sweet with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Light bodied with notes of cranberries and metal. Low bitterness. With it’s corona light clear bottle it looks gimmicky and cheap, soit’s quite surprising to find that this is not crap beer in a fancy bottle, rather a pretty good beer. --- Beer merged from original tick of Golden Lager on 13 May 2015 at 12:17 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.

Draught at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Cloudy darkish amber, mid-sized airy head. Aroma of caramel and banana. Sweet and full bodied. Strawberry esters mingle with spun sugar, banana cake and caramel. Mild with soft, spritzy mouthfel. The high alcohol contents are barely noticed. Combines the warming qualities of doppelbock with the refreshment that hefeweizen gives well.

God, not sure why people aren’t all over this. This is a German schooling of what Hellas should be from its frothy white head, full malty mouth with bready notes with a touch of lemon and grassiness off dry bready finish. Not to mention perfectly balanced. Excellent.

Draught. Clear dark red/brown colour. Fruity flavour, but not out of style IMO. A bit watery.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pilsener golden with a white head. Lightly sweet, malty aroma. Medium-bodied dominated by malt sweetness. Very discreet bitterness in the finish. Pleasant. 060506

Little yellowish head; chestnut-mahogany colour. Rich bready nose, some cognac notes, nuts or chestnut. Bready, sweet but very clean-tasting; nutty again (hazelnut & Brazil nuts). Well bodied, nearly thick-syrupy. Quite excellent Doppelbock. Second rating: 7/4/8/4/15 (which is pretty consistent. Aromas: also lightly sweaty and rhubarb, next to the breadiness. Oxidated flavours, old bread steeped in sherry, with a good shot of caramelized chocolate. Less viscous than first try. Seems to age well.
