3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
bottle, bought at the brewery (ABV 5.2%). Clear golden colour, large white head. Malty nose. Full-bodied, intensively malty with hints of honey, vanilla and shy hints of cinnamon. Shy floral hops in the lingering finish. A briliant beer, as are all the others from that brewery. This brewery really is a gem!
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
(bottle, courtesy of Quack-Duck) Slightly unclear, pale golden colour with a big and blond foamy head. Sweet and slightly grainy malty aroma with notes of citrus and herbal hops. Moderately sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Slightly buttery pale malt-character with shy notes of biscuits and citric, slightly herbal hops; sweet-bitter, slightly fruity and herbal hoppy finish. A bit simple but still very pleasant brew. Same delivery/purchase by Quack-Duck, but a different bottle and I do not detect any kind of infection. 29.XII.09
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle (donated by Q.-D.!): Pale golden, a bit unclear, small lacy hite foam; chalky and grainy nose with traces of infection with a light "woody" hoppy background; light dryish bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; slightly lingering chalky and grainy-hoppy finish. What a pity.....
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle from Quack-Duck, thanks! Pale golden color, hazy. Rancid butter in the flowery aroma. Malty, nutty flavor with rancid butter and toffee. Diacetyl all over the place.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Very hoppy, moderate malty, the smell of hay. Big white foamy head, long lasting; dark yellow body. Moderate sweet start and an even sweeter finish, average duration. Light to medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Good one.
