34cl bottle from Bierzwerg. Poured hazy orange color with a white head. Fruity, yeasty aroma, (poured some of the yeast in the glass without thinking). Flavor was tropical fruit, citrus, yeast. Finish is bitter. Quite nice Pale ale, should have another one to try without the yeast.

Bottle. It pours a slightly unclear body, golden in color and with a finger-thick off-white head. Quite acidic on the nose, citric acid that is. Doughy malts and a touch of fruityness. The flavor is reminiscent of citrus peel and dough, with some spicyness added. Quite bitter, slighlty acidic and also a bit thin on the palate. There’s a little bitterness towards the end. A strange one, loads of different aromas and also quite a few different flavors, but it’s not impressive at all. 110406

Bottled 340ml (Utobeer, BBE 10/2011)
Slightly hazy orange color, small white head. Aroma has cardboard, citrus and sourness. A bit thin palate. Grapefruity, papery, grassy hoppy flavor ... but also acidic. Probably this bottle was a bit off (although BBE is in 6 months).
