Papsoe (11073), Frederiksberg, Denmark Oct 11, 2008 (Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of fiver29. Pours a hazy pale golden with a dense white head leaving some laces.

Subdued bitterness. 041008 yespr (7785), Copenhagen O, Denmark Oct 12, 2008 33 cL bottle, courtesy of Papsoe. Pours slight cloudy orange with a collapsing white head. Medium dry and slight oxidised aroma. Mild citric to acidic flavoured with a light caramel malt base and light spice note. Smooth fruity estery finish. MiP (6337), Flensburg, Germany Oct 4, 2008 Bottle, 7.5%. Sweet and spicy aroma. Cloudy golden colour. The flavour is sweet and spicy, but unfortunately has some metal/blood. Good mouthfeel. argo0 (6284), Washington DC, USA Mar 14, 2007 (750ml bottle) Slightly hazed straw body topped by large white head, some lacing. Aroma is sweet, perfume, honey, some orange. It’s very fragrant, but I’m not a big fan of the fragrance. Taste is medium sweet, herbal/straw, flower, some peach, pepper. Effervescent medium body. CaptainCougar (4687), Rockville, Maryland, USA Apr 5, 2005 Pours a clear bright golden with a huge, airy, rocky head, with clumpy lacing. Nice lightly sweet malt, candi-sugar, and floral, bready yeastiness in the aroma with good complexity. Starts mildly sweet with some lemony citrus and biscuit malt turning drier and allowing some bittering hops to come through toward the tart, sticky finish. Nicely balanced and enjoyable, but I prefer a touch less citrus tartness. Still a very drinkable and well-done brew. Many thanks to Larry Pitonka for the trade!
