Ungstrup (26476) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - APR 23, 2005
[Cask at GBBF 2004] A hazy amber beer with no head. The aroma is grassy and hoppy, while the flavor is sweet with primary notes of alcohol as well as lighter notes of hops leading to a very dry end.

12 fl ox bottle. Pours slight hazy and golden orange with a huge off-white head. Immediate aroma of grapefruite and pine. Solid caramel malt beneath. Flavour is perfectly sweetend with a nice set of fruite note on top, some mild spices appear here and there and there is a little edge og liqourice before the finish. The finish holds clear notes of alcohol, warming, a solid dry bitterness and a lingering fruityness.

omhper (17561) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - APR 23, 2002
Reddish amber. Flowery, citrusy nose. Full bodied, seet, slightly syrupy mouthfeel, and a late bitterness that just keeps growing. Despite it’s bizarre hop rate it somehow manages to remind somewhat balanced. As usual a very interesting brew from Dogfish Head.
