2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask (gravity dispense) at GBBF, day 3 on 3 August 2006. Hazy amber colour. Very perfumed, with lots of aromatic, flowery hops on the nose. Falls away on the palate though. Very lightweight and a bit short of depth with little malt in evidence. Maybe something wrong with the condition? Certainly something not quite right with the one I got anyway - a shame as I’d heard promising reports from people whose opinion I trust. Flagged for re-rate.

Bottled, bought somewhere in Amsterdam. This looks like a normal lager. I had this after the gym, so even a Heineken would taste good. But the aroma is great, some hops, even a bit flowery. The taste is great. It tastes like a normal lager, with some added hops. It’s not a very complex beer, but it’s just very good at what it’s doing. Great refreshment a hot summer day!

0.33 l bottle from K-Market Länsiväylä, Jyväskylä. Deep golden color with hint of haze. Fruity and sweaty hops in the aroma. Bitter and slightly yeasty flavor with fruity hops, restrained notes of lemon and grapefruit. Drinkable and fairly pleasant but slightly too yeasty.

Hazy amber with tiny off white head. Sweet aroma with hoppy and caramel notes. Sweet citric flavor with hoppy and piney notes. Ends bitter.

Pour is a blond with a large white head. Aroma is a lingering hop with some apple cider in the backround. Flavor is super dry and chalky. Some ginger maybe comes out but again finishes super dry. No real aftertaste just again super dry. This was wierd and not very good.

Bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a small white head. Nose is very light wheaty with a slight hop aroma. Taste is slightly stale wheat with a light hop profile. An odd mix. Body is thin and the flavors disappear rapidly. Drinkable but not memorable.

Gewürziger und hopfiger Antrunk mit angenehmen, teilweise aber zu übertriebenen Kräuternoten. Milder werdend, die Hopfigkeit weicht einem herben bis bitteren Ton, welche eine getreidige Nuance aufweist. /8/7/8//9

Cask at GBBF 2006. An unclear orange beer with no head. The aroma is very American with notes of grapefruit reminisence of Cascade. The flavor is a bit watery with notes of fruit - especially oranges as well as light notes of malt leading to a slightly acidic bitter end.
