MiP (11783) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - FEB 19, 2010
Bottle, 8.5%. Strong aroma, distinctly spicy, some fruit, a little alcohol. Hazy yellow colour. Small stable white head. The flavour is very spicy, slightly sweet, good coriander note. Not so well-balanced, but flavourful. Distinct bitterness in the aftertaste, quite clean and pleasant. Also a sour hint in the finish, not a problem, but might be after a while.

yngwie (9196) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - MAY 22, 2010
Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A clear, pale golden beer topped by a dense, off-white head. A bit too sugary on the nose, with a tiny touch of spices. Grainy notes and fruits too, and there seems too be a warming alcohol touch. A good bitterness finishes the flavor experience, where white sugar and fruits initiates it. Some Spicy notes blends in. The flavor is pretty much the same, a bit on the sweet side. Overall, a pleasant beer indeed, a bit on the sweet side, but tasteful and with quenching qualities. 100522
