bask (305), Leuven, Belgium Dec 30, 2005 Offwhite small head, dark golden colour. Strong dominating hoppy flavour, malts. Hoppy, dull taste. Bart (1214), Vosselaar, Belgium Nov 28, 2005 amber colour, sweet-bitter aroma, soft palate, some carbonation. Light bitter finish. Easy drinker Papsoe (9774), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 15, 2005 Updated: Jul 22, 2005(Bottle 25 cl) Beautiful amber colour, although the label rather confusingly claims that this beer is "light as a pilsener". I mean, whats the point in producing an amber if you’d rather it looked like a pils? Anyways, De Smedt didn’t succeed - this is an archetypical "Amber" or "Speciale" in the same vein as De Koninck or Palm. Small, creamy head. Some caramel sweetness balanced by some hoppiness. High carbonation. 120305 and 111199 Sahlholdt (275), Copenhagen, Denmark Apr 29, 2005 Amber beer with offwhite head. Te armoa is a bit metalic. Taste is thin and watery with some sweetness. MiP (4843), Flensburg, Germany Apr 20, 2005 Updated: May 4, 2006Bottle. (Label says Cabbac Speciale Amber). Sourish, bitter hop aroma. Dark amber colour. Caramel, spice hints. Quite boring, though. Aftertaste is yeasty and a bit like cheap lager.
