Nothing special on the nose or appearence, but things quickly brighten up in the mouth. A crispness of spring flowers and fresh butter that is quite unique. Hops quickly follow but never overpower. A light delight that lacks body around its solid core.

Bottled, pasteurised, 500ml. Orange amber with white head. Light, malty, scottish type bitter with a slight peaty note, must be my imagination, but I get a little smokiness. Fruity, apple in the body and almost indistinguishable hop. Still quite reasonable and easy drinking.

Århus2008. 50 cL bottle. Pours clear golden yellow with a lacing white head. Light fruity hops aroma. Flavour is mild sweet hoppy with a light fruity note, nice and lingering light. Ends with a mild bitterness and light fruity flavour into the far finish.
