Ungstrup (23975) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JUL 27, 2004
A hazy orange beer with a fine white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of yeast and fruit. The flavor is very yesty and malty on a slight sour background before a good hoppy end sets in.

Papsoe (22983) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - AUG 7, 2006
(Bottle 50 cl) This one credited to "Integrated Bottling Solutions" - not Freeminer. <!-- br --> Pours a hazy amber with a handsome, off-white head with a good retention. Discreet aroma of nuts. Fairly light-bodied with lots of flavour: nuts, caramel and a hint of citrus. Dry finish without being overly bitter. A nice Bitter. 020806

omhper (15964) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - MAY 8, 2003
Bottled. Pale golden with firm head. Flowery smokey nose. Firm, rounded soft maltiness with a body and mouthfeel reminding of a good German Helles, even though English barley is used here. Quite bitter finish witha hint of tobacco. A discrete, introvert beer, very pleasant throughtout, never pushy or intimidating, nor average or boring.

fiulijn (10421) - Como, ITALY - JUN 1, 2002
Amber-orange colour, cloudy, poor head.Nice fruity aroma, not too strong (banana, abricot, ...). Sudden aggression of hop in the mouth; smooth, drinkable, no malt taste. Good bitter final, only partially aromatic.

argo0 (9226) - Washington DC, USA - DEC 1, 2004
Big beige head atop a cloudy amber body. Aroma is mild, medium sweet, orange, earthy. Taste is medium sweet, earthy, orange. Watery light body. Disappointing, and a waste of a good name.
