Papsoe (21782) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - JUL 2, 2005
(Bottle 25 cl) It’s really either/or with the De Troch fruitbeers. Some are fresh and delicious - others are stickingly sweet and then there are those completely awful. This belongs in the last category. Amber coloured with only a small head. Tart, synthetic and artificial flavors - this really is foul. Not a beer to drink for pleasure. 210598

25 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a dense white head. Sweet fruity and slight acidic aroma. Sticky sweet with dominant abricot note. Citric and acidic, which makes me shiver. Ends with an abricot and marcipan like flavour. Very sweet.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is dishwater, soap and artificial apricot. Flavour is big sugary apricot and paper. Not worth the money.
