300 ml bottle, bought in Frederikshavn, Denmark. ABV is 6.8%. Cloudy golden colour, huge head. Yeasty and fruity aroma, notes of barnyard and rotting/fermenting apples and pears. Flavour and aftertaste are fruity and mildly acidic, hints of oak and spices. Good beer!

(Bottle 30 cl) Pours a pretty, clear red brown with a small, off-white head. Spicy, lightly herbal aroma. Rather flat carbonation. Medium-bodied, lightly tart with very spicy accents - mint and aniseed in particular. Very different and interesting. A "gruit beer". 300606

Bottle (thanks to bierkoning !): Deep golden coloured, stable mid-sized fluffy head, lively carbonation; sweet-malty, bisquity nose with a distinctive spicy (coriander, aniseed(?)) touch; slightly sweet, malty, medium sized body, some bitterness detectable; fruity (citrousy) and spicy finish, rounded by some mainly dry bitterness. A quite complex, pleasant Ale, nice

Bottle. Nice, spicy aroma, slightly peppery. Slightly cloudy golden colour, small white head. OK mouthfeel, but watery flavour. The flavour has a subtle spiciness to it, and the aftertaste is teaish.

(bottle, thankfully received from bierkoning) Almost clear and golden coloured effervescent hue with a nice and firm light yellow foam. Dusty and sweet malty and coriander-spicy aroma with honey and a touch of hops. Sweet and slightly bitter-spicy flavour, medium to full bodied, malty and slightly fruity taste; lasting moderately bitter and most of all coriander-spicy finish. Too over-spiced for me and certainly the wrong choice for a sunny and almost hot day like today.

(Draught at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London 21 Apr 2006) Golden yellow colour, slightly hazy, firm white head. Very nice spicy nose with clove, cardamom and a wheaty, sweet/sour character. Taste is spicy with clove and coriander, lightly sweet and light body. Quite nice, but the nose is better than the taste.
