ThomasE (5176) - Copenhagen, - JUL 22, 2005
Nice looking amber colour with a small off white head. Weak malty aroma with only a light grainy malty note. Sweet malty flavor with an unpleasant underlaying sourness.

Marduk (376) - ESTONIA - APR 27, 2012
NOTE: This is not really a rating. I’m converting my old notes over to BR. This is more like "check" for my own purpouses, that I have indeed drunk this beer at the time it was produced.

Bottle Big Ben bar, Tartu, Estonia. 18-05-05 Amber colour with a small white head taste ok, did not write too much about this so must have been fairly ordinary.

Jukkabro (3471) - Tampere, FINLAND - OCT 18, 2005

UPDATED: JUL 22, 2005 (Bottle 50 cl) Beautiful, dark amber colour with a small off-white head. Some vague roasted notes and an unpleasant tang of cardboard. Actually cardboard seems to be the dominating flavour. No real pleasure. 150705

Bottled. Copper coloured, white foamy head, lacing. Sweet malt with vegetably notes. Also a bit of apple in aroma. Vegetably flavour with malty and a bit fruitish notes. A bit skunky flavour too.

This beer has been praised in Estonia.
Reddish golden color, creamy white head. Skunked grassy hoppy nose. Basic malty lager with some bitterness in the finish. Some juniper notes. Not much to praise for.

Pernille (518) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - MAY 14, 2005
(Bottle) Color is: urine in the morning.. or just an uncharming greyish amber. Aroma is more like a stench. And it took 3 sips before I was acutally able to locate the flavor. It’s thin and watery with a metallic tang. Avoid!

Engelsmann (652) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - APR 26, 2005
Bottled. Pours a dark golden/amber with a small cream coloured head. Aroma is sweet and hops. Tasta is a litle sweet and bitter, not much taste at all
