Bottle 50 cl. thin yellow cloudy body with a huge white fluffy lasting head. The nose is rather piney with notes of mustard-seeds, freah figs and peaches. The taste is huge when thinking this is a pilsner. I taste melons, lots of fresh hops the contributes with great sweet bitterness, there is some coriander and pinecones, vanilla and pineapple. Very balanced. Has a high carbonation that gives a fizzy and nice palate and smooth mouthfeel. Great pilsner... and then it is organic.. thumps up.

sdriessen (318) - Dunedin, NEW ZEALAND - DEC 20, 2008
500mL bottle. Aromas of lemongrass, grapefruit, passionfruit, coriander and hops. A pale yellow and green colour with a thin white head and great lacing. Beautiful, complex flavours of grassy hops and fruit such as pear and grapefruit with a honey sweetness and floral tones. A dry finish with malt. Crisp and clean on the palate, with absolutely perfect carbonation! Amazing!

BeerBiker (1412) - Odense, DENMARK - NOV 30, 2008
[From Vinens Verden.] Hazy darkgolden with huge white head. Notes of herbal flowers, grapehops, crisp and bitter, very uncommen for the style almost like an IPA-pils, maybe cascade. A new taster for the speeches.

kearnsy (68) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - NOV 30, 2008
500ml bottle. Pours clear straw colour with excellent white head. Aroma is full of fresh life and is dominated by freshly cut grass fileds and hay, sweet hop citrus. Very inviting beer! Flavour is crisp and clean: bread flavoured malt and grassy hop tones mix superbly on a medium to light palate. Good bitter finish that invites the next sip almost immediately, which is a good indication that it is an excellent beer.

50cl bottle @ Svinetsverden, Odense. Pours pale yellow with a small egg white head & lacings. Nose is of hops - fresh & citrussy. Taste is crispy & again hoppy, grassy with a fine bready maltyness. Crisp, elegant & quaffable! Pleasant bitter end! Great pils:-)

Blom (778) - Odense, DENMARK - NOV 20, 2008
Who would have thought that a pilsner could be as crisp as this?! The colour is less than pale and the head low, but the aroma reaks of spring and corn fields. The flavour is very inviting too, nicely hopped on a biscuit maltiness. Superb!
