ogivlado (2399), Zagreb, Croatia Aug 28, 2008 Bottled(500ml). -In de Wildeman, half liter 5.20€.
Slightly hazy golden/orange coloured, small white head, lively carbonation. Sweet malty, light yeasty, some lemony hoppiness with mild fruity notes in the moderate bitter finish. For 5.20 I want more... oh6gdx (6343), Vaasa, Finland Aug 18, 2008 Bottle (from Cracked Kettle). Hazy orange colour, small white head. Aroma is yeast, spices, mild leathery notes as well as some slight alcoholic notes. Flavour is yeast, spices and mild fruityness. DutchCrow (20), Alkmaar, Netherlands Jul 5, 2008 Not very enjoyable blond beer. Bit of a weird aftertaste. Good amount of alcohol though, I think it would taste worse with more alcohol in it. Tastes a bit like citrus so you almost think it’s a bad white beer. gmonroe10 (112), Netherlands Jun 12, 2008 Bottle. Pours a cloudy straw color,body is light to medium and well carbonated. Large fluffy white quickly dissipating head. Sweet orange aroma and yeast, as well as some alcohol hidden in there. Taste is not tasting of much of the sweetness nor of the alcohol from the aroma, but a dry smokey flavor. Finish is well hopped with a lingering dryness . FatPhil (2367), Espoo, Finland Jun 3, 2008 500ml bottle. (Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam)
Slightly hazy straw colour, tiny head (but was poured slowly to minimise the yeast). Sweet fruity hoppy aroma at first, fills out with medium-roasted malts later. Some hint of disinfectant too, perhaps alcoholic. Lively carbonation in the mouth. Ash-tray (smoky, but without smokiness, does that make sense?) and tobacco-like taste, and some of those vegetal hints from the hops. Anna got more of the vegetal nature, I didn’t. Alcohol not particularly noticeable in the taste. Finish is full and pretty hoppy, stays a while, leaves the mouth a little sticky and tingly. Really crunchy lager - puts many German equivalents to shame.
