Ungstrup (14724), Frederiksberg, Denmark Mar 23, 2005 A hazy amber beer with a disappearing orange head. The aroma is sweet, very hoppy, with notes of caramel. The flavor is very sweet with notes of alcohol, caramel and a lovely bitter dry end. Papsoe (14613), Frederiksberg, Denmark Feb 17, 2007 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a pretty, amber golden with a yellowish head. Fresh, hoppy aroma. Medium-bodied with roasted malts and caramel and then some perfumy, Hubba Bubba like accents. Rather hoppy finish. Lovely.

Intense grapefruity hoppiness over a lovely malt character and a lingering very bitter finish. Like with almost every Great Lakes beer this is perfect quality. joergen (8429), Frederiksberg, Denmark Feb 14, 2007 Bottle.

clear redish amber, thin off white head leaves nice lace, light sweet carmel malt aroma with a touch of floral hops, mostly dry malt flavor with a double does of hops leading to a bitter finish, malt grows bigger as it warms and a touch of sweetness shows up, just a hint of alcohol as it approaches room temperature, never really develops any character

argo0 (6842), Washington DC, USA Dec 5, 2004 Clear amber body with minimal off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, some spice, earthy, herbal, grapefruit. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, some herbal, good bite. Medium body. Nice 1-D beer. hopdog (5525), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 18, 2005 12oz bottle acquired in trade with BBB63 (thanks!). Bottle labeled best before Nov. 20, 04. Poured a medium and clear amber color with a very small sized off white head. The color had a reddish hue to it as well. Aromas of hops (still there after a year past its BB date), oranges, citrus, and a light smokiness in the background. Tastes of orange peel, citrus and caramel. Nicely balanced. Sticky body. I wonder what the hops would be like in a fresh bottle. hopscotch (5437), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Nov 27, 2005 Bottle... Clear, amber ale with orange highlights. Small, creamy, off-white head. Good retention. Citrusy, fruity aroma with a very slight pine undertone. Moderately bitter, grapefruit flavor with a solid, caramel / malt backbone. Full-bodied and ultra creamy with medium carbonation. Finishes dry and grassy. Great brew! Thanks to scraff for the bottle.
