33cl bottle purchased from Belmont Station. Poured slowly to avoid the pile of sediment in the bottom, but I over-did it and ended up with a swirl of yeast in the glass. Aroma of spicy noble hops, a touch of yeast, and a solid under-pinning of Munich/Vienna malt flavors. Pours a beautifully soft honey color with a rapidly receding white head that diminishes and then rebuilds itself after each tip of the glass. The flavor starts as a sweet malt sensation on the tip of the tongue, washes across the palate in waves of spicy hops and bread crumbs, and finishes by leaving a trail of earthy, spicy flavors in the throat. Quite tasty, if it were a bit cheaper I’d buy a ton of it, but at $3.50 per bottle it will be an occasional treat.

Jan 2, 2009 Orange gold body. Large, frothy white cream. Immense nose hints of spicy fresh hops and bright fruit. Hop flavor is mind-blowingly intricate. Peppery, spicy, super fruity, herbal, fresh. Very noble-like, but great utilization. Brilliant lager!

Dec 28, 2008 Maybe I should have this beer in Denmark. It was so oxidized, the taste was extremely compromised.

Dec 12, 2008 overflows when i open the bottle. after a resonable wait, it pours hazy amber, big rocky head, decent lacing. aroma of malt with a bit of mustiness. flavor seems floral and mild vegetable. medium bodied, dry finish. i do not get a lot of hops in this one. not very exciting. single bottle from binnys beverage depot in orland park.
