Ungstrup (23981) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - MAR 2, 2005
An orange beer with disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel, citrus, and yeast. The flavor is sweet with lots of alcohol, but also yeast, and caramel.

Papsoe (22983) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - AUG 2, 2005
(Bottle 33 cl) Hazy, amber golden with a creamy but small head. Soft and sweetish with lots of malt and only a discreet, bitter palate. Very full body - and quite alcoholic. Very close to the typical, Belgian strong Blond ale. 120102

Bottled (as Grain dOrge Tradition). Amber colour with mediumsized and quite lasting white head. Aroma is tropical fruits, some sugar, caramel and mild alcoholic sweetness. Flavour is quite much the same along with some mild hops as well as some nextary notes.

MiP (11783) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - JUN 5, 2010
Bottle, 8%. Cloudy chestnut colour. Big stable white head. The flavour is nicely fruity with a good alcohol level and a little sweetness. Very clean for a French beer.

Oakes (10191) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - DEC 18, 2000
One of the more mediocre examples of the style. I still like it, but there are better examples out there if you can find them.

harrisoni (10070) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - SEP 9, 2005
750ml bottle from Carrefour. Golden beer with frothy white head. Yeasty citrus aroma with grapefruit and tangerine. Some syrupy nose although palate isn’t sweet. Dryish in mouth though with a good hoppy finishand some more citrus fruit and nice acids. Somealcohol warmth and tangy hop finish. Pretty good but not as good as 3 monts
