jonas (5060) - Garching b. München, GERMANY - OCT 24, 2003
Spicy, sweet and a bit hoppy aroma. Deep golden amber, creamy head which dissipates too fast. Sweet malt flavors. Light body yet warming.

pilsnerrogge (2285) - Finspång, SWEDEN - AUG 23, 2003
Golden colour, rich head, good lacing. Faint yeasty aroma. Marzipan and alcohol-flavor. One-dimensional and boring.

duff (5484) - Lund, SWEDEN - JUL 29, 2003
Really nice appearnce, clear gold, with nice fluffy head. Tastes like bread and flour, with some lemony acidity in the finish. The mouthfeel feels a bit empty. A bit sugaary aswell. Some herbal hops, but not as much as i like. dissapointing.

Hildigöltur (5106) - København, DENMARK - JUL 18, 2003
Pale coloured. This is not a good beer. Very yeasty with some citrusy sourness. I don't like this at all.

nigos (623) - Sheffield, South Yorkshire, ENGLAND - MAY 17, 2003
Presented in a nice corked bottle. The aroma is of yeast and malt with a hint of orange . The appearance of the beer is as good as the bottle's. Golden with a good white head like a freshly poured pils. Flavour wise it has that yeast start and orange flavours like most balgium beers have. However unlike Belgium beers this has quite a long, crisp, malty finish and is quite highly carbonated. A great beer either way, although it is slightly thinner on the palate than the great beers of which I have compared it to. I would definately have this one again.

Great head on this beer. The flavour is lightly hopped but generally malt, with tinges of orange. Good beer.

Nuffield (3362) - Roseville, Minnesota, USA - DEC 10, 2002
I bought a bottle of this at a French grocery store near the French-Belgian border. My friends’ annual 2001 Christmas beer tasting ranked it the lowest of 12 beers in the tasting. Perhaps our palates were already shot.

With my first taste, I was quickly reminded of Fantôme Pissenlit. The same flowery/dandelion taste. Hints of earth textures. The flavors hide the high ABV. Makes you want to be a rock star.
