Sampled at DØE Beerfestival 2009, Valby. Pours a clear pale yellow beer with a small white head. The aroma is weak with hops (grassy and grain). The flavor follows the nose, but a little stronger. The palate is bitter and dry. Overall an average beer.

Pours a dark golden honey orange color with a 2.5 finger frothy off white head that very slowly receeds Slightly floral aroma with earthy hops, citrus fruit, honey, yeast/bread and solid malt backbone. Bitter floral hops with yeasty/bready creamy medium body. Light crisp fruit apple and pear with some citrus notes. Biscuity caramel malt backbone with slight honey presence. The floral hops are pretty strong and linger over all of these flavors into a pleasant dry finish.

Tap at Copenhagen Beerfestival 09. Clear golden color, short head. Hoppy aroma. Fresh bitter taste. Very decent pils.

Bottled, from Johnny’s Off License, Roma. The aroma is light and malty, but has a really strong hoppy flavour, the taste end is almost bitter... I would say ViaEmilia is "more german" than many german Lagers! Very good.

From tap@Københavnske Øldage 2009. Firm creamy white head. Body is foggy pale yellow. Fresh hop aroma; citrus and notes of straw. Taste is dryish, crisp malty and grainy with a fine grassy, straw-like and floral hop profil. A well prononced hop bitterness lingers in the finish. A highly refreshing Pilsener.

100ml draught. Golden, with a sligt haze. Clean citric aroma. Fresh fruity flavour of lemon and orange. Bittersweet ending. Very refreshing and morish, but rather thin on the swallow. A careful start at the Københavnske Øldage, (Valby 15.05.2009).
