Bottle sampled at the brewery. Cloudy golden pour with a medium offwhite head. Very interesting aroma of spices, hops and yeast. Very good and well balanced flavor of hops, yeast and spices. The body is medium to full with a creamy texture and gentle carbonation. Yummy!

Storm (2685) - Amager, DENMARK - MAR 20, 2008
33 cl. Thanks to Mikkel(ler). Unclear amber colour with a huge floffy head. Aroma of parfume and little hops. Flavour of hops, parfume, caramel and alcohol. Not as bitter as I may thought.

Magjayran (1379) - Durham, North Carolina, USA - MAR 17, 2008
Wow this one is bitter! There’s a nice bright hoppy aroma at first. Very flowery. There’s an odd sweetness at the start and an alcohol burn at the finish. In between all that is a rather intense earthy bitterness and a yeasty breadiness. Weird and not bad.

couchand (182) - Iowa City, Iowa, USA - MAR 17, 2008
Hazy golden with thick creamy, almost meringue head. Strong fruity hop, some malty sweet aroma. Pretty bitter, quite alcoholic and slightly sweet. Almost watery and almost cloying.

Bottle, thanks to larsniclas. Yellow color, rich white head. Aroma brings burnt rubber, and that was really turning me off. Yeasty fruity flavor, some rubber notes, bitter and not very good.
