For me one proper and honest beer review is more worth than 100 ticks without any relevant content. It’s all about respect for the beer and the craftmanship behind. I will always try to do my best for a proper rating than playing the number game.

Can @ home. Slightly unclear golden body under a fine white head. Mild aroma, some pale malt, hint of citric fruit, wheat and a touch of spicy yeast. Taste is mild as well, soft, light pale malt, hint of wheat, hint of citric fruit, slightly spicy yeast and OK bitterness. Balanced body with a relatively short aftertaste. Decent beer, but not very exciting, not much going on really. And where did the wheat IPA come from? Can’t see anything regarding this in the description, this is not a very typical wheat nor IPA. Perhaps a hoppy American wheat?

Bottle @ home. Almost clear golden body under a disappearing, medium sized white head. Aroma of grain, an herbal touch and typical Sorachi Ace hops. Taste is very smooth pale malt, grain, herbs, fruity chewing gum (Sorachi Ace) and moderate bitterness. Balanced, quite light body and same aftertaste. An unusually but interesting choice of hops for a lager, but it works out great and I like it.

Can @ office lunch. Unclear golden body under a big off-white head. Aroma has malt, dry fruit and orange marmalade. Taste is quite sweet with malt, sweet fruit, orange marmalade, a touch of toffee and balanced bitterness. Rich body with a sweet and bitter aftertaste, hint of honey in the finish. Decent, theoretic quite bitter IPA that balanced out with sweetness and alcohol.

Bottle @ home. Slightly unclear golden body under a quite fast disappearing white head. Aroma has oranges, lemon, oak and funk. Taste is soft malt, lemon, oranges, a touch of wood and mild funk. Medium acidic and some sweet malt is left to make a fine balanced against the acidity. Aftertaste is sweet and acidic with lemon and oranges marmalade. Nice and refreshing.

Can @ home. Clear dark brown, very close to black body under a big, fine foamy beige head. Aroma of dark malt, chocolate and cardamom. Taste is sweet, dark, smooth malt, chocolate and distinct cardamom. Alcohol is well hidden. Fine body with long lasting aftertaste. The base beer is typical Amager porter, well made and balanced, super smooth. The cardamom is the joker here, I had this served quite cold so the cardamom felt subdued in the start, just like a nice, spiced Christmas beer. The during the last part of the can it was heated up a bit and the spiced part felt a bit to heavy, still a very nice beer.

Slightly unclear deep amber body under a nice, lacing tan head. Aroma has caramel, bread and slightly nutty. Taste is on the malty side with toffee, bread moderate bitterness. Light bodied, but considering the style and the low ABV it feels right. Quite long-lasting malty, relatively sweet aftertaste. Isolated evaluated as ‘just another beer’ it’s really nothing extraordinary besides a well crafted beer, but has to be considered made as a tribute to a rare, almost forgotten historical style this is a pretty interesting beer. It’s a low alcohol beer with more body and flavour than usually found in typical straight forward hop fruity pale ale/session IPA’s that’s frankly just consist of a nice aroma added to a totally neutral body. It’s also an interesting fact that left-over bread has been used as an addition to the brewing malt. The lost history might as well be the future of modern beer right now, bring em on!

Can served at family dinner (would never have bought this by myself). Unclear pale-yellow golden body under a white head. Aroma has fruity hops and grass with a metallic touch. Taste feels quite sweet with low malt and citric fruits, a bit grassy/pine as well. Metallic bitterness, sweet and slightly harsh finish. Unbalanced and quite boring.
