Ungstrup (23918) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JAN 19, 2010
Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has strong notes of fruit and some malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, fruits, and a bit of spices, leading to a dry spicy finish.

Papsoe (22946) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - JAN 19, 2010
Bottle 50 cl. Pours an almost clear golden with a frothy off-white head shaving foam style. Fresh citrusy nose. Medium body, sweet and fruity with no hops to speak of. More of a Golden Ale really. 190110

imdownthepub (7461) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - DEC 8, 2009
Bottle conditioned, 500ml from Bellingers Garage, Grove, Oxon. Straw colour with big white, fizzy head. Lots of trapped CO2 in this, very burpy. Thin bodied carrying a very perfumed, flowery hop note, almost herbal with a strong lychee note. Not quite to my taste, but still drinkable.

DruncanVeasey (5138) - NUNEATON, Blue Square Prem, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - AUG 1, 2009
BC. Fine haze to murky apricot with the bits in, creamy undulating fluff on top. Fresh citrussy aroma with tangerine, celery and juniper suggestions. Biting and dry, chewy gelatinous lime, slight rustic farmyard yeasty notes, G+T juniper and lemon freshness, oak, pine needle,crisp crackerbread malts, oat and custard creams in a sweet balancing aftertaste. Very sessionable.
