fiulijn (5695), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Mar 5, 2008 Bottle at Rover, Göteborg; great generosity of Pelle Dark amber color; creamy head. Light aroma of cereals, carmel and very light Saaz. Medium body strength, with a strong caramel flavor and some dark chocolate; it has a good bitterness level, but the caramelized malts cover the hop. The end is dry, as it seems to be quite common for this brewery. Not bad. Ungstrup (10824), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jan 20, 2008 Bottled. an amber beer with a lazing thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel, and so is the flavor, though added a light note of metal, leading to a dry bitter and slightly metallic finish. Thanks to Emil for bringing this home from Iceland. Grovlam (2906), Copenhagen, Denmark Jan 15, 2008 Bottle. [Great two day tasting session @ Papsoe] Small off-white bubbly head that mostly diminished. Clear amber color. Fair display of lacework. Aroma of citrus, fruit, caramel, grain. Over the palate roasted malt and a hint of butter. Medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Light bitter and sweet flavor. Light dry and bitter finish. Papsoe (9679), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jan 14, 2008 (Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of Ungstrup. Clear, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head that leaves some lacework. Lightly sweet aroma of caramel. Medium body, lightly sweet caramel and a fairly discreet bitterness. Quaffable but far from exciting. 120108
