COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A full bodied, dark golden ale with a thick, off-white head, enticing citrus aroma and unique swirl of tropical fruit esters produced in fermentation. Backed by a precise balance of strong malt presence and biting hop bitterness, this creamy blend of rich flavors leads to a smooth, hoppy finish, and the torment of knowing that when this bottle is empty, you will long to… FEEL OUR PAIN

Papsoe (25131) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - NOV 22, 2012
Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of nimbleprop. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Sweet caramel aroma, oxidized subtle hops. Rich body, very sweet, sugary hops, again rather oxidized but it doesn’t mater too much. Heavy on the booze. Could perhaps use a little more hops. 221112
