Bottle 65cl. @ Chriso’s pre GBBF Shindig ’09.
Light unclear medium yellow color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, lime peel, soap, spicy, candy, ginger. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20090801]

Bottled. The label looks dangerous - the beer in the glass also - unclear yellow with a thin white head. The aroma has strong notes of ginger and fruit as well as light notes of citrus and wheat. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of ginger, lemongrass, citrus, wheat, and malt, leading to a bitter and dry wheaty finish where the note of ginger lingers. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.
