Die_Kapusta (190) - Malmö, SWEDEN - NOV 1, 2010
Hazy golden pour with visible carbonation. Very big white head, ranging from foamy to creamy.

Aroma is hay, bitter orange, peer, apple juice, pineapple, yeast and wheat.

Taste is sweet and bitter with flavours of tropical juice, grapefruit, wheat, pepper and pear liqueur.

It has a very lively carbonation and a medium body. Finishes boozy and bitter. Almost feels like a strong wheat ale. Very tasty.

blklab2007 (1354) - Connecticut, USA - OCT 20, 2010
bottle that I let sit on the counter a few minutes before opening foamed huge upon opening making me run for the sink where the foam seemed unending. color is a light brown and the aroma has lots of yeast, dough, sweetness, and light fruit. mouth feel is light and the carbonation is off the charts. flavor has yeast, flowery hops, medium bitterness, and light fruit. this is really yeasty probably due to the extreme carbonation and foaming out stirring it all up.

Nickls (1297) - SE DC, Washington DC, USA - OCT 12, 2010
Bottle. Big, white blooming head, orange hue that’s really hazy. Citrusy and yeasty aromas along with vanilla and light spices. Citrus in the taste to begin, and definitely yeasty with floral notes in addition to the vanillay that carries into the taste. Softer carbonation, and a bit chalky in the feel. Not amazing, but very solid.

scrizzz (2183) - Bothell, Washington, USA - OCT 10, 2010
Aggressive carbonation creeped up out of the neck of the bottle just before I poured it in the glass. Aroma reminds me of the boskeun, citrusy and light. More lime than orange, sweet graham cracker overall. Muddy copper, thick creamy pale tan head. Big with C02 on the sip, once settled became a bit doughy shortbread, grape juice and raw alcohol.

berlinoise2go (342) - NORWAY - OCT 10, 2010
Bottle (33cl) from Vinmonopolet (Vika), Oslo. Gusher, produces a huge offwhite fluffy head with very good retention, lovely lacing. Slightly hazy golden colour. Hoppy, acidic aroma of apple and lemon peel, balanced by some honey sweetness. Medium body, fizzy carbonation, refreshing. Finishes with a tart, peppery, pungent hop bitterness.
