COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Editor’s note: previously also know as "Bies Sommer Ale".

Danish: En lys gylden og frisk øl, der med sine amerikanske humler amarillo og cascade giver en snert af hyldeblomst. I sandhed en frisk og lækker let bitter øl, der byder solstrålerne velkommen og matcher både fed og krydret mad rigtig godt. Brygget på pale ale-malt og karamelmalt.

UPDATED: JUL 31, 2011 On tap at the brewpub. It pours an almost clear body, golden in color and topped by a finger-thick off-white head soon diminishing into a thin layer of bubbles. Some lacings. The aroma has citrus and pine cones, a flowery touch and some caramel. Piney and citrusy flavor, good bitterness, and in the far back there’s some caramel sweet malts. Medium body with pleasant co2. Bitter, piney finish. A pleasant and refreshing one, but I wouldn’t be sad if they added even more hops in it. Rating: 6-3-7-3-14-3.3. 100812

On tap at the brewpub, as Sommer Ale. A hazy, golden orange beer with a small, off-white to beige head. The aroma has butterscotch and candy, citrusy hops too. Some sugar. The flavor is as the aroma too buttery, a trademark for the brewery it seems. Bitterness, grapefruit and caramel too. Medium body, slightly cardboardish and with a fine carbonation. Fine bitterness in the else buttery malty finish. Too much butterscoth in this one, would be nice without. 110415

Ungstrup (23922) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JUL 9, 2010
Handbottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin lazing orangey head. The aroma has notes of elderflowers, hops, malt, and caramel as well as some bread. The flavor is sweet with notes of elderflowers, hops, malt, caramel, and bread, leading to a quite bitter finish. Huge thanks for papsoe for bringing this home.
