Skinnyviking (5956) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - JUL 15, 2008
Bottle. Low and quickly disappearing white fluffy head. Clear yellow body. Sweet lemon apple aroma. Flavor mild, sweet and unfortunately without much fruityness or hops bitterness. The carbonation is boosting the fruit impression but still it feels a bit thin and watery. Short aftertaste.

bmackenzie (40) - Wellington, NEW ZEALAND - MAY 17, 2008
Aroma: sweet honey, caramel and toffee malt immediately on the nose. Light orange floral character and whiff of daffodils and apricot.
Appearance: Gold, good beading, white head
Flavour: Firm herbal, minty and forest floor hop flavour giving away to sweet pale malt and caramel finish.
Palate: moderate bitterness, finishes sweet and bitter.
Overall: one dimensional. feels too flabby to enjoy as a session beer.

TheGrandMaster (2335) - Auckland, NEW ZEALAND - MAR 10, 2008
Bottle (from NZ wine store), pours a silty gold with a frothy white head. A juicy malt aroma with a touch of toffee and fruity hops. A very buttery palate, with caramal malt and an increasing bitterness in the finish. Yalnikim’s right, past its best.
