3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 faroeviking (8598) - Kongens Lyngby, FÖROYAR, FAROE ISLANDS - SEP 10, 2007

2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 hopscotch (7288) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - AUG 3, 2007
Bottle… Mostly clear, yellow lager with a small, fizzy, white head and decent retention. The aroma is all earthy, peppery and herbal hops, malts and esters. Balanced flavor. Pale malts and spicy, grassy hops. Light to medium-bodied with lively carbonation. Crisp, moderately bitter, bone-dry finish. I guess I’ll go against the grain on this one. I just didn’t really enjoy it all that much. Kudos, however, to Marsiblursi for providing the bottle!
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 boboski (1095) - Alabama, USA - AUG 2, 2007
This was surprising from start to finish. A nearly translucent golden body with bright yellow highlights. Thin white head, mostly diminishing. The nose is very hoppy, grassy, pungent, with plenty of very lightly toasted and fresh grain, some sourdough bread notes. Lemon and light peach juice touches also. This smells like it will be incredibly dry, as turned out to be the case. The flavor is loaded with grassy hops and light, lemony acidity. Bitterness is mild in the taste. Virtually no sweetness. Grains seem to have a medium level of toast now. The mouthfeel is soft, lightly spicy and drying quickly. Off-dry finish, grainy, hoppy, lightly to moderately acidic. Pretty tasty, dry as a bone.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 beeranarchist (205) - Aalborg, DENMARK - JUL 14, 2007
Bottle. Yellow and clear with white head. Hoppy and fruity aroma with some bready and grainy notes. Medium body, nice lingering bitterness that is well supported by the malty backbone. Dry finish. A VERY nice lager that I easily could a lot of!
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20 estoves2 (98) - SWEDEN - JUL 2, 2007
Poured it in a nonic pint. Nice golden body with a thin creamy head. A sweet malty aroma. Malty and hoppy flavor, nice bitterness. Watery in the mouth with very small bubbles. The finish is a bit more bitter. A really nice lager.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 thebeertourist (3981) - Oslo, NORWAY - JUN 9, 2007
Bottle. Clear deep golden, medium off-white head. Fruity hops aroma. Bitter flavours, hoppiness resembling apples. Medium body. Quite nice.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 OleR (3510) - Oslo, NORWAY - APR 9, 2007
500 ml bottle. Hazy and lively orange/golden body under a dense, mostly lasting, lightly tanned head. Alluring aromas of sweet citrus, flowers and fresh baked bread. Taste is dryish malts, light acidulous fruits with a suitable hopbitterness. Medium body, lingering hopbitter end. Hell... this is my favorite Premium Lager!
