The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Zippy, nice head. Starts strong, modest hoppy, a bit dry. Sourish notes in the background make the beer interesting. The finish shows malty-spicy notes. All in all well balanced. Not bad!

Deutlich herber Antrunk, in dem würzige Aromen weitestgehend fehlen. Daüfr bleibt die Herbe konstant und fördert so die Balance des Bieres. Im Mittelteil beginnt eine würzige Getreidigkeit, die später malzbetonter wird und sich mit der Herbe auf einer Linie befindet. Dort stagniert die Intensität bis in dern Abgang, der minimal süßer ist. Es ist aber auch der bitterste Teil des Bieres, im hinteren Nachgeschmack sind bittere Aromen sogar absolut dominant. Ein Bier, das zum Ende immer besser wird. 8/9/11/12/9/11

Hopfig-brotiger nicht ganz so erbaulicher Duft. Hopfiger Beginn. In der Mitte brotig-würzig mit malzigen Aspekten. Im Abgang durchschnittlich herb und trocken. Geht so.Test vom 22.12.2009, Gebinde: Glasflasche

Orange-reddish beer with a slightly dark brown tone. It forms a large head. The smell is malty and fruity, but very discreetly. Starts malty, mild sweet, a little clove aroma comes through. The aftertaste is strong hoppy bitter, almost the complete opposite to the beginning part.

Bottled (from bierzwerg.de). Golden colour, mediumsized slightly off-white head. Aroma is leathery, sweet and bready malty along with some slight herbal and wooden notes. Flavour is leathery, mildly toasted, bready and quite sweet malts as well as some slight herbal and grassy notes. Finishing in a quite salty way.

It’s dark-golden with a creamy, white head. The aroma has notes of malt, grain and grass. The flavour is slightly sweet with notes of malt, grain, straw and I find some citrussy hops in the dry finish. It’s quite nice.

Bottel from Quack-Duck, thanks! Golden color. Malty bready hay-like aroma. Malty bready grassy flavor with a hint of butter. Grassy hopbitter finish. Medium to full bodied. Fairly dry, in spite of the huge maltiness. Well done.

Clear golden with a medium white head. Somewhat malty aroma with grainy accents. Sweet malty flavour with breadish and hoppy notes. Finished dry and bitter.

Tasting at Papsø’s
Deep blond color. Simple aroma, but the malt flavor backbone is reasonably good. Correct bitterness, for a correct brew.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is dry and cornish malty. Sweet, light metallic and slight cornish. Mild grassy bitterness and dryness into the finish.
