doubleo (681), San Diego, California, USA Jul 26, 2008 Thanks to KingG for recommending this brew. Very nice! Pours hazy, straw yellow with a huge white head, great retention, sheet lace. Smells very bready and yeasty with some slight hop aromas as well. Tastes yeasty and bready again but this time with a very nice hop presence. Slightly bitter, slightly sweet. Medium body, super vibrant carbonation. BoBoChamp (255), Gent, Belgium Jul 22, 2008 33cl, new brew Anno 2008, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex, balanced, hazy, rocky head, very good, winner of ZBF2008 Pigfoot (2222), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Jul 21, 2008 4 hops: Saaz, Spalt, Tradition, & Golding. Also, named after a 200+ year old puppet. Huh.
Hugely hazed, bright golden color, big head, long-lasting, lace-leaving. Poured into a small Gouden Carolus gold-rimmed glass.
Aroma: bright, beautiful hops, more citrus, lemon, with just a side-oder of cat pee. Creamy, floral, yummy.
It blasts hops on the palate right from the start. Blisteringly bitter, long sizzle on the the tongue. Full-bodied, lush malt. A bright beer, with intense hop flavor. I thought a mere 50 IBUs would result in less hop bitterness than this. I’m happily reassured. Swims brilliantly in the mouth, spreading hoppiness and joy. Snappy. Bold. Refreshing and delicious. Big citric slap.
nice one, Golden Charlie!
daniele (640), Italy Jul 21, 2008 chiara schiuma abbondante persistente note maltate erbacce lieve fruttato in bocca malto lieve acidita corpo medio luppolatura non marcata buoni sentroi ma non predominanti alafito (328), tijuana, Mexico Jul 20, 2008 Like a champagne beer, its imposible to open or pour without the foam spilling over. Very smooth and silky carbonation though, Flavors are citrusy and lightly hoppy. The aroma is bandaid and soap. The finish however is bready and earthy with a typical Carolus Green apple hint to it. Alcohol not noticeable.
