Frovigalning (1456) - Örebro, SWEDEN - OCT 15, 2011
On tap at the Chimay pub. It poured a hazy yellow liquid with a small white head. Lightly malted with a fruity aroma. Light body, medium carbonation and fairly smooth. An easy to drink beer that should work well with food.

presario (4133) - Stampede City, Alberta, CANADA - OCT 1, 2011
Nice fluffy head smells better than tastes. Lively on the tongue almost like a a Duvel hefe, hops and banana but still flavour is muted. Like a summer ale but the flavour is just beyond reach.

Scopey (1659) - Croydon, Greater London, ENGLAND - SEP 29, 2011
Bottle at Craft Beer Co tasting, thanks to Matt. It pours hazy straw yellow, with a thick white head and lots of suspended sediment. The nose is pear, peach, green apple, bread and light spice. The taste is hay, straw, yeast, spice, toasted white bread, dough and light citrus. Medium body, smooth mouth-feel and fine carbonation. A flavoursome brew.
