Ungstrup (24025) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - MAY 29, 2005
[At Københavnske Øldage 2005] A hazy orange beer with a disappearing off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and alcohol as well as hints of metal. The flavor is sweet and flat with notes of caramel and metal, leading to a very dry end. A disappointment.
