3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sweet abricot and citrus aroma. Dark amber coloured. Citrus, alcohol and malt sweetness is what you taste. It finishes a bit with an alcohol bitterness but also more citrus.

Bottle from Etre Gourmet webshop. Pours almost clear golden with a huge frothy white head. Aroma of spicy hops, sweet fruity and yeast. Taste is first of all a very lively spicy mouthfeel, high carbonated, moderate alcohol burn towards the end.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught at Mikkeller Bar. Light amber with a fluffy white head. Spicy banana-heavy aroma, but something feels wrong. The aroma is muted and takes a lot of work to experience. Has the fuller body you’d expect from a 10% beer but I’m finding it hard not to be disappointed. It’s not a bad beer by any stretch, but it falls somewhat flat here.

33cl Bottle, bottled Jan 2011. Drunk May 2012.
Amberblond, white head, not as lasting as usual.
Sweet citrus flavor, candy sugar, a bit acidic as well.
Taste is quite sweet/sugary, light bitter finish.
Easy to drink a lot, but probably a mad bitch the day after!

tulip. gold color clean body and massive head and lots of lacing. aromas are citrus, hay, yeast. taste up front is a bit sweet, not very bitter, yeasty, and lots of notes of hay and coriander. The texture in this beer is very interesting, at first I took a sip of the head and very fluffy texture and some of that feeling remained as I washed my mouth while drinking the beer. brilliant!
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Sharp, sweet aroma. You can small the sugar. Pours a big head with big fluffy bubbles. Leaves traces on the sides of the glass as the head dissipates.
Golden, with lots of particulate matter floating around.
Lots of carbonation so it hits the tongue a bit like a sour. Dry finish.
Ziggy start with a lemon’ish sour dry finish. Maltyness really sticks around in the mouth with is interesting with such a dry finish.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Poured on draft into a whiskey tasting glass. Appearance is densely hazy yellow with a thick frothy head of white foam. Aroma is slightly tart, but a light sweetness is the more present aroma. In the taste I get an interesting salty sweet note that’s oddly nice. Difficult to explain. Really good beer.
