clear dark golden, large creamy smooth light golden head. looks awesome and flavorful.
very mild aroma. fruity malts i think, and faint exotic fruity hops. but quite faint and quite tempered.
Quite nice flavor, exotic fruity and fruity malty, a bit meh, but drinkable. not very quenching, more like the one you had too many at the old english pub.
good mouthfeel

Please, royal unibrew, write the name of the beer somewhere in normal letters, it's sherlock holmes goes magnifying glass every time i find one of your cans. Another bar below the type with the name of the beer would be nice.
hazy orange, almost white head.
aroma reminds me of when i got drunk in interesting places as young. hoppy flowery fruity aroma with dank malty balance, i'ts pretty nice and starts memories from when all beer was not hipster. still.. a bit of a macro feel to the aroma.
flavor reminds me of when danish macro was young and experimenting and had no clue about how to make beer. like a well meant, failed homebrew, fruity and exotic fruity notes, rounded malts, subtle fruit peely bitterness in the end. not quenching, but a flavorfull +1 to the booze-o-meter if you are out and about.

nice fresh citrus fruity sugary sweet malty aroma, good herbal hoppy base to it all. Not overly strong, but very appetizing.
Flavor is exotic fruity with a bit of an hoppy edge at the end. not very bitter, but quite flavorful. good neutral malts that stay crisp. Very enjoyable and quaffable hazy.

In fact named "Happy Easter" on the can graphics.
hazy yellow, white head.
Dusty hoppy aroma with a bit of citrus.
flavor is exotic fruits, citrus fruits, moudly fruit peel bitterness, rounded sweetish malts, almost buttery, almost caramelly note. decent but has a macro/industrial feel to it - probably best ice cold.

Clear yellow, white head.
dry slighlty flowery aroma, faint citrus, very mild even for a session IPA, almost more like an european blond ale.
flavor is artificial flower flavor, almost soapy, some fruit peely hop bitterness that clashes with the rest, medium malts with a slightly buttery feel to them.
total fail as i see it as an ipa - they should've called just called it ale, this would not survive a trip to india, probably maybe not even by airplane.

nice hoppy fruitty sweet fruity aroma. bittersweet malty, exotic fruity. meaty. normally i don't fancy this kind of aroma, but this one is in fact quite likely and nice. good job for a bittersweet exotic fruty ale.
flavor is malty, bitter hoppy, west coasty bitter hoppy, sweet malty, almost bitter caramelly. end is lots of bitter hops.

milky yellow with a big smooth creamy good looking white head. looks like a lemon milkshake, but with white head.
strong aromatic hoppy aroma with loads of sweet malts to base it, faint citrussy note.
flavor is a bit over the top exotic fruity, but in a laid back way that almost works. in the end thogh, way to bittersweet imho. a far distance away from the exceptionally awesome aroma .

Clear brown
small brown head that quickly disappears
aroma: well blended soft velvety almost roasted malty note with a bit of boozy notes also. not very woody. malty but more dry nutty malty than roasted malty. is a barley wine so it fits that well. not much coconut, nothing stands out as coconut, but it can be found if you look for it. phenolic boozy hit if i sniff it fast. a abit too rough and boozy i think. Ignoring the boozy sting i do get a very soft and blended and velvety aroma that is complex but very tighly knit.
flavor is surprisingly sweet, notes of wood, roasted malts, chocolate, toasted coconut flakes, no boozy sting at all, salty notes, really good salty licorice, flavor is a whole other level than aroma. i can still sense the stingby booze when i breathe thrugh the nose while tasting - but the flavor is awesome. A bit to the sweet side, but totally complex and well composed and very rounded.
not worth the 999dkk i paid for the can - but i'd do it again if i had never tasted this one before. it is unique and it is made very well indeed. Nearly all other barley wines will pale if taste compared to this.
Edit. now tried the rest of the can after a day in the fridge, so more chilled. Even better. licorice and coconut is stronger. less boozy cold. increasing score.
