Bottle: Pasteurised
A full-bodied lager with lots of malt and hop character. A touch hoppier than many lagers yet perfectly balanced with lots of fruity hop character and fragrance.

Not sure exactly how fresh this bottle is, but I was pleasantly suprised at how tasty it was, and the hop levels were clearly noticeable. The beer’s best character was the flavor, which had a pleasant fruityness supplied by the yeast that matched really well with the hops used. It really breaks the standard "lager" mold with hop level, so it was really welcome. Aromas carried the cereal-like malts with some light flesh fruits, and a touch of grass. Very enjoyable beer.

Bottle. Pours a very light straw colour with pillowy white head. Huge bready malt aromas and some grassy hops. Quite subdued but good all the same. Sweet malt flavours and some slightly earthy hop aromas. Nice beer

500mL bottle. Aroma is of sweet corn and biscuits with a moderate grassy and spicy hop kick. Pretty sweet. Transparent yellow body with a large off-yellow head that is strong and leaves good lacing. Starts somewhat sweet and grainy with hints of corn and biscuit. Lightly funky towards the end with a grassy, herbal hopped finish. A very drinkable pale lager.

550mL bottle. Pours very clear, light golden with a frothy white head, good retention. Smells of corn. Very light malty taste, little bitterness, bit sweet, taste is way better than aroma. Though it does have a bit of a corn finish. Very little body, slightly slick texture, medium-high carbonation.

550 ml bottle, at Café Luna, Aalborg. ABV was 5%. Golden colour, big to moderate white head. Moderate aroma of flowery and grassy hops. Allegedly "a touch hoppier than many lagers", I still find the flavour rather bland and boring. More malts than hops though. At least there are no offensive side flavours.

Pale yellow colored pour from the bottle with a substantial white foam head. Grassy, fruity hop aroma and flavor. Crisp, clean and easy drinking. A good organic beer.
