Ungstrup (14758), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 5, 2005 A lighty amber beer with a small white head. The aroma is lovely hoppy. The flavor is sweet and very hoppy but also with notes of alcohol, grass, and oil, leading to a dry finish. Papsoe (14642), Frederiksberg, Denmark Aug 16, 2007 (Bottle 65 cl) Slightly hazy amber golden with a lightly yellowish head. Fresh and citrusy nose. Medium-bodied, some caramel and then a rather raw and unrefined bitterness. Not exactly impressive. 150807 yespr (11649), Copenhagen O, Denmark Aug 30, 2007 1 pt 6 fl oz. Pours hazy orange with a slight off-white head. Thick aromatic nose, perfumed hoppy. Dry flavour, grainy and malty. Spiced. Dry spiced and hoppy bitter finish. joergen (8430), Frederiksberg, Denmark Aug 21, 2007 Bottle.

Oakes (8072), gone rambling, Vietnam Nov 22, 2005 Bright middle of the road amber colour. A bit of apricot and hints of leafy hops alongside slightly toasty malts in the aroma. There’s a surprisingly bold mint note as well. The palate is certainly hoppier than the aroma hinted, with moderate bitterness and earthy, foresty accents (and lots of mint, still). Balancing malts have a slightly toasty accent. Alcohol comes in late, with a dull thud rather than hot or peppery, which I might have enjoyed. OK, so it’s not a masterpiece, but it’s a competent hoppy ale that is aimed squarely at Full Sail’s existing audience. fiulijn (7150), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Aug 15, 2007 Hazy amber color. The aroma is hoppy and quite resiny, dry but perfumy and nice; also a bit soapy. The body is not too strong, with a sweet caramel flavor corrected by some good hopping. Not bad. argo0 (6861), Washington DC, USA Jan 28, 2007 (22oz bottle) Lightly hazed copper body topped by a medium beige head. Aroma is moderately sweet, pine/grapefruit, caramel. Taste is medium sweet, pine, grapefruit, some bread. Medium body, light resin. Too bad the taste doesn’t live up to the aroma.
