Ethereal (2399) - Los Angeles, California, USA - AUG 9, 2008
Cask at GBBF 08. Amber with strong iodine and medicinal notes on the nose and in the taste. Decent weight and finish but overall I reckon this beer won’t be to many people’s taste.

Maria (8589) - Thisted, DENMARK - JUN 28, 2007
It’s a slightly hazy, dark golden beer with a creamy head. The aroma has notes of fruity hops, just like the light and crisp flavour. It has a citrussy bitterness and it’s a beer with a low ABV, but still with a lot of flavour - I like that in a beer, and it’s a refreshing and nice session beer... 2351

Papsoe (23023) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - NOV 17, 2007
(Bottle 50 cl) Slightly hazy, pale amber golden with a rough, off-white head leaving some lacework. Unclean aroma with a touch of citrus. Light in body with an excessive carbonation. Some weird Brettish accents without any real sourness. A little fruit and caramel but no bitterness. Interesting. 311007

maeib (6645) - Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - JUN 12, 2004
Cask conditioned - handpump - Evening Star Brighton. An amber coloured bitter with a bitter grassy aroma. The taste is also grassy - nothing special but still drinkable.
