Draught at Sct. Clemens, Århus, 5.5% ABV
Cloudy blond-honey color; small head. The aroma is light, but with a pleasant malt and honey, light cereals too, fresh wood sap, yellow dandelion flowers; biscuity. The body is quite lean, the mouthfeel is dry; the honey flavor is just a pale shade, there is some fresh wood, a flowery tone, and very light yeast. The final is decently bitter, but the structure is weak. A bit strange, but not bad.

Clear golden with a medium white head. Aroma had rubber, malt and hints of caramel. Flavor had rubber, malt and hints of honey. Slightly off.

Draft. Hazy golden with off-white head. Flavour is malt, caramel, honing and spices.

Draught at the brewpub. Cloudy amber coloured with a medium sized off-white head. Fruity aroma of berries and sweat with notes of burnt plastic. Fruity flavour of berries and hops with notes of burnt plastic. Hoppy and berryish finish.

On tap. Pours an almost clear deep golden with an off-white head. The nose is spicy and not particularly honey-like - smells more like oregano! Medium body, malty, light honey accents, again spices but also an underlying light tartness - could be some acetic acid indicating a lurking infection. Finishes dry. 040810

Nice dizzy yellow colour. Small head. Sweet flowery aroma though thin. Nice simpel taste, but all to candylike and misses full scale oppurtunity of a sommerbeer
