Bottle@Home. Not a strong aroma but there is some sweet citrus. Golden color, white head, good lace. Sweet, citrus, caramel, soft mouthfeel. Interesting combination of citrus and caramel.

Lots of gunk in the bottle that I didn’t fancy pouring. Typical blond colour. Thick head. Fresh, clean flavour with soft fruity overtones.

Bottle, 33 cl. 13.08.’08 @ Home. (bought @ Willems) Hazy darkgolden color, with white head. Aroma some sweet, citrus, bit like wheatbeer, yeast. Medium body. Taste start sweet, bit caramel, citrus, little yeast, malts. Bitterness, dry finish.

Orange, hazy beer with a creamy, near-white, very persistent head. End of bottle near opaque. Creamy nose with an obvious sweet alcohol smell. Something both spicey (ginger?) and fruity (?), hint of glue. Again alcohol in the taste, sweet from sugars. Faint spicey (pepper, ginger, grains of paradise). Finally some hints at celery, pineapple, and at the end licorice. Bit burning MF, very deceptive light body & texture. Alcohol remains obvious however; in the aftertaste a little lemony flavour emerging. Strange. It’s too sweet. It’s pretty raw-alcoholic. There’s little or no distinctiveness. And yet, I rather like this. It’s exactly a beer that wants to be drank more. And if I interprete its name, and the synonyms on the label, that was exactly the objective. (La Douf stands for p*ssed).

First Snowfall of the Season tasting in Odense. Golden with a small white head. Fruity and slightly spicy aroma with a hint of nuts. Sweetish fruity flavour with orange peel notes. Spicy yeast and a mineral note in the finish

Nice label on the bottle. Blonde and hazy. Hoppy, flowery, soapy aroma and flavor. Mint and mandarin. Quite a nice and tasty beer.

Pours golden with a white head. Aroma is caramel, fruit and co2. Flavour is caramel, alcohol, fruit and co2. To high carbonation.

Amber coloured beer with almost no carbonation and just a small white head. Malty herby aroma with some light yeasty herby and fruity touches. Full palate. Finish is light bitter with some clear herby notes. Medium one.

Bottle. Pours a clear and golden with an offwhite head. The aroma is malt, sweetness, fruit and yeast. The flavor follows the nose with some additional banana. The palate is sweetness and a high level of carbonation. Overall a good beer.

Bottle @ Local Tasting, Nov 2010. Pours slight unclear golden with a small white head. Nose is sweet. Cookie dough, yeast and spices. Lively carbonation. The finish is vaguely metallic. Medium bodied.
