(Bottle 25 cl) Courtesy of omhper. Pours a clear, pale golden with a rough, white head. Fairly neutral rice aroma. Thin and watery body without any real malty feel - just a touch of brewing cereal. No bitterness - no nothing really. 110507

Bottled. A light yellow beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of straw and cardboard. The flavor is dry with notes of cardboard and a slightly acidic brewing cereal note, leading to a dry cardboard end. Thanks to Per.

Bottle thanks to Per. A golden beer with a white head. Grainy aroma and a sweet straw taste. Light body with a light dry finish.

Ølfestival 2007. Thanks to Per. Bottled. Pours a clear pale yellow with a white diminishing head. Smells of farts and perfume(!?). Medium sweetness with a sour touch. Perfumy aromas of hay and grass. Light bodied but kind of creamy mouthfeel. Medium carbonation. Metallic and dry finish.

Small white head, slightly hazy golden body. Sharp and weird aroma of methol and bread. Grainy and slightly hoppy flavor. Could have been worse. Thanks Per for a new country!

[Bottled] Pale yellow, average head. Corn syrup dominates. Sweet and raw with metallic finish. Sticky, mushy mouthfeel. Feels cheap and unfinished.

UPDATED: SEP 28, 2007 Bottled 0,25L. Bought in Praia (Cape Verde).
Compact and lightly fading head. Golden color, lightly pale, a lot shining and with optimal fizz end. Watery and inconsistent scent; light notes of straw and dry grass, with wishy-washy cereals end. Much prickly and fresh taste with moderate bitter; not much alcoholic one with little balanced and decidedly watery end.
A special thanksgiving to Gigi & Mina for this gift.
