4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 KapitiCritique (312) - Leawood, Kansas, USA - AUG 5, 2011
AROMA: Lemon, anise, traces of skunking (they need to get rid of the green bottles or just store it better), farmyard smells (hay, straw, dirt), wine (white burgundy);
APPEARANCE: hazy, light yellow or straw, thin head, virtually no lacing;
TASTE: sour, slight bitterness,
PALATE: thin, spritzy, lingering finish of a soft nature;
OVERALL: exceeds expectations, the skunking was fleeting and more a testimony to the problems of storage than of brewing.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 yngwie (8717) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - AUG 1, 2011
Bottle, 75cl, kindly shared by Beer2000. It pours an unclear, yellowish golden body topped by a finger-thick white head. Slightly flowery on thee nose, fruity-sweetish and grapefruity, with some pineapple caramel. Honey, pale malts, herbs and lots of fruityness in the flavor. Medium to full body, nice level of carbonation. Pale malts, fruityness and herbs in the finish. An unusual beer, maybe a bit low on bitterness, but I certainly wouldn’t mind drinking more of it. 110501

Bottle. Poured into a tulip glass a cloudy straw yellow color with a fluffy white head. The aroma is strong lemon lime aroma mixed with some medicinal notes. Smells like a lemon lime soda. Light mouthfeel. The medicinal notes in nose is stronger in the taste. Light lemon in the flavor as well with some bitterness that builds in the end. It’s decent for a summer brew.
