Ungstrup (26223) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - NOV 15, 2010
Draft. A hazy amber ber with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and berries. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of berries, leading to a dry wheaty finish.

From tap at Yard House in San Diego. Pours hazy deep orange with a small white head. Aroma is crisp orange and tangerine fruity. Mild citric base flavour, rather dry yet refreshing with a bitterness making the finish even more dry and crisp.

Papsoe (25131) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - MAR 16, 2005
(Bottle 35,5 cl) A raspberry-wheat beer from Louisiana! Oh yes, it had to come. Has the typical wheaty haze with some sediment. Orangey with a slight reddish tint and a good head. Quite dry and only a hint of sweetness from the fruit. Actualy quite refreshing.

omhper (17456) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JAN 28, 2008
Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. Hazy pale amber, average head. Tart raspberry aroma. Dryish, light and clean. Though simple it’s drinkable and refreshing. No bitterness. A well made beer in a pointless style.
