Bottle thanks to Edo... dirty dark blonde, big off white head, great retention and its super creamy and cloudy, great lace... the nose is really sweet, lots of sugar and honey, a touch of yeast, doesn’t smell like a wit, just sweet but its not bad... the taste is pretty boring, a touch of clove and yeast, too carbonated, weak watery finish... nothing special here, wouldn’t have again

Bottle 330ml.

Ulfborg Scooper Smagning 2012. Hazy golden with a big white head. Aroma of coriander, black pepper, orange and lime peel, and CO2. Dry and perfumed spiced flavour with high carbonation

Bottle, 7%. Very spicy aroma, woodruff and coriander. Cloudy golden colour. Big stable white head. The flavour is nicely spicy, like the aroma, but also seems like a good spicy hop. Good teaish finish. A good beer, but 7% seems a bit much, even though I cannot really taste it.

Bottle from bierkoning. Thanks! Hazy opaque yellow pour, gushing white head fades to little film. Big fruity nose, surprisingly intense. Apricot, banana notes, saccharine artificial fruit. Dry wheat characteristic, coriander, more apricot fruit, very spritzy carbonation, white pepper and clove hints on the finish. Not bad.

bottle at home ... murky amber ... white head ... soft sweet juicy fruity hop... ligth sweet yeasty nose ... soft sweet banana fruits ... ligth yeast ,.. soft yeast but... not up to much...dry and lots of coriander

Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass fine turbid, huge head. Starts mild, modest yeasty, some fruity-sourish notes. Finish still mild, almost a bit salty, could be more intense. But quite drinkable. Okay.
