Ungstrup (23984) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - NOV 24, 2005
[Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen] An amber beer with a nice beige head. The aroma is very light with notes of caramel - too light for my liking. The flavor is roasted toffeish on a mineral background, and with a dry rather bitter end. The body is somewhat thin.

Papsoe (22992) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - JAN 16, 2010
Cask. Pours a clear warm amber with an off-white lacing head. Lightly nutty aroma. Thin and watery body, flattish, vague accents of toffee and nuts. Again a little moldy. Dry finish but not overly hoppy. 160110

yespr (22206) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - JUL 27, 2008
From cask at Charlies. Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Mild fruity hops and malt aroma. Flavour is dry and bitter with a distinct dry malt base and a mild fruity accent. Dry and bitter. Ends this way with a mild classic pilsner bitterness.

oh6gdx (16081) - Vasa, FINLAND - MAR 1, 2007
Casked. Dark amberish brown colour, small white head, which lasts for a good while. Malts and some grass in aroma. Flavour is a bit better with some bitterish notes added to the malts and grass. A rather thin beer.

Cask. Nicely hoppy aroma, dry hopped? Dark copper colour. Small creamy head. A little thin and watery flavour, but nicely hopped. Thin body. A bit like hop water.

fiulijn (10421) - Como, ITALY - DEC 10, 2006
Cask Conditioned at Bishop’s Arms, Malmö
Beautiful amber color; frothy head. Delicate aroma, earthy hops. Very light body (too much, indeed), a bit metallic flavor, but also some light malt, some dry toffee and a reasonable hopping. Would be ok if not so weak.
