Bottle, swing top home.
Clear light to medium orange color with a large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is light malty, toasted, bread, toffee. Flavor is moderate sweet and light light bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. (100508)

Courtesy of Papsoe. Golden with a huge, nice and creamy head. The aroma has notes of malt, grain, straw and a little citrus. The flavour has sweetness, hints of alcohol, notes of grain, malt and a hint of citrus and a low bitterness. A bit too sweet IMO.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Fine aroma, fine foam. Tastes modest malty, spicy, the finish a little bit sourish. Nevertheless very drinkable and good beer!

Bottle. High creamy and long lasting white head. Clear golden body. Promising. Unfortunately the flavor was not as impressive as the looks. Barley malt, nothing else, OK but thats it. Strangely watery for a pilsener with a relatively high alcohol percentage. Swett and not much hops bitternes, low carbonation and a short aftertaste.
