Bottle 500ml. @ home.

Clear medium to dark yellow color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, herbal, toffee - butter, herbs - grass notes. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration, tonic, fruity herbal bitter. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. A bit organic alike ! [20110121]

Bottled. A dark golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of dusty hops on a malty background. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and spices - it must be the dandelion that to me make up the spice-note. The finish is bitter.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of madmitch76. Clear golden with a slight haze and an off-white head. British hops in the nose, with some honey and phenols also. Medium body sweet fruit and honey with a vague underlying mustiness. Somewhat skewed. No real bitterness. 301110

Bottle at Ungstrup. Clear amber coloured with a medium sized white head. Fruity aroma of caramel, candies and hops. Fruity flavour of caramel, candies and hops. Hoppy finish.

500ml bottle from Sainsbury. Gold in colour, no real head. Oh dear, bad start here as it has diacetyl on the aroma. Butter and dandelion don’t go together. Diacetyl all over the flavour. Then add to that over filtering and pasteurisation and you have a pretty horrible beer. The dandelion element is interesting, but someone forgot to tell the brewer about malt and diacetyl and pasteurisation. Awful..

Bottle. Pours a golden color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity flowery aroma. Fruity malty flowery flavor with hints of dandelion. Has a fruity malty flowery finish with some weak bitterness in the aftertaste.
