Ungstrup (26238) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - SEP 11, 2007
Bottled. Clearly a filtered beer - though I can’t tell if it is pasteurized. A hazy amber beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with flowery hoppy notes. The flavor is also sweet malty with flowery hoppy notes - especially elderberry flowers.
