Papsoe (22946) - Frederiksberg, - FEB 13, 2008
(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, golden with a creamy, off-white head leaving some lacework. Lightly tart fruit aroma and some alcohol. Medium body with a very soft mouthfeel and a litte low carbonation. Quite fruity with some alcohol in the finish. Not exactly a great beer but highly drinkable. 050208

Golden colour. aroma is silightly ’European’, but not necessarily Belgian). Flavour has a shade of Beligan candy-funk, with a small alcoholic note. Sufficiently smooth in the mouth. Nothing special.
