2.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle, Kegs & Barrels, McKinney, TX.
Pours more of a hazy gold then the advertised amber and has a white head with ok retention, actually laced the glass....oop’s, now the head is gone...strange....anyway..Aroma is of strong skunk and some malt. Flavor was supprising given the aroma.....is a nice sweet malty beer, but appears to have an old hop taste with slight bitter and leaves a somewhat undesirable after taste, I appreciate a nice bitter in beers, but this bitter taste like skunk. For being a 7%+ beer, it doesn’t seem to have much of an alcohol presence stick out, it seems well balanced on that note. Palate is medium with high carbonation. This isn’t a horrible beer, it’s pretty tasty at first.....why must they put this in green bottles to be distributed??? It just ruins the quality and makes it a cheap beer....just my thoughts.....
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Golden yellow color with lacy medium white head. Aroma is sweet malty, hoppy and alcoholic. Maybe also a nice hint of ethyl acetate. Malty, fruity flavor with alcohol and some grassy hops. Medium-bodied and quite carbonated palate.

UPDATED: MAY 16, 2008 Smells of an elephant/skunk fart. I never knew elephants could survive Denmark’s climate...well of course they can’t. Neither can green bottles. Taste is better than the smell.....that isn’t a compliment. Almost like a 7.2 heiniken. Maybe it can comfort you on an iceberg before you commit suicide while listening to poorly played death metal. Still..who wants an elephant-skunk to fart on their beer. $8.49 a six pack is an awfully high price for Elephant farts..and I don’t care if they are endangered farts.
1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
A clear orange colored beer, with a white head. wit big bubbles. The head is disappearing quickly. The aroma is grainery, some malt andgrassy. There is some smell which is hardly to discribe. The taste is a little sweet, with tones of bitter. Notes of old grain. Not a nice combination of tastes. Absolutely not my kind of beer. And I think this is not a good example of Danish beers.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. Clear golden colour with small creamy white mostly diminishing head. Weak malty aroma. Sweet flavor. Bitter finish.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Hadn’t had this since I had visite the brewery in 2002. Pours a clear dark gold with quickly dissapating fizzy white head. Aroma is very boozy and sweet. Flavor is basically all alcohol and syrupy sweetness. I like it, but I see why others do not.
2.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Good head. Weak smell of nothing that smells good. Dark color is differnet and intriguing. The flavor is weak sauce. It tastes like a bad IPA. It has a taste that is a level of mild and unperticular that borders on water beer. It leaves a bad taste on the middle of my tounge. I like some of Carlsberg’s stuff, but this is an average beer.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pours out a darker golden color with a fairly think white head at first but quickly fades to nothing. Aroma is interesting, the hops are there for sure but unfortunately this gives way to a sickly sweet aroma of corn and booze. The taste is not too bad, the alcohol doesn’t come out as badly in the taste as it does in the aroma. More sweetness from grains and corn. The hops are more pungent and bitter than I had expected, a few bonus points for that. Finishes rather dry and not nearly as sweet as I thought it would. This is ok, some good points mixed in with some bad.
