Ungstrup (26261) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - AUG 17, 2006
An orange beer with a beige head. The aroma is sweet hoppy, but also with a light note of grass. The flavor is sweet with light notes of both caramel and grass, leading to a dry bitter end. Somewhat boring.

Golden. The aroma is woody, hoppy with a light malt toastiness. Light body and character with a mild, woody American hop accent, light fruitiness and chewy, slightly toasty malts.

JoeMcPhee (7622) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 3, 2005
Pale golden beer with a hazy appearance. Thin white head. Aroma is of honey with a decent spicy hop character as well. A bit of juicy fruitiness in there as well. Very fresh smelling. Flavour is well-balanced, sweet caramel malt. Finishes hoppy and spicy. Easy to drink. A good summer seasonal.

duff (5484) - Lund, SWEDEN - MAR 17, 2005
Tap@James Squire Brewhouse. Some really nice aromatic hops in the nose, lychee and honey in the nose. Shame the body and flavour don’t really go anywhere. Drinkable, for sure, but not very interesting. Some cardboard in the finish.

DuffMan (5194) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - JUL 4, 2005
I liked this. Pours clear gold (duh), with a decent head. Really nice sweet fruit on the nose (like peaches in syrup), delicious palate of fruity hops that finishes fairly crisply. On the lighter side, but I think that is why I like this one-- good flavours and balance that allow for repeated drinkability.
