(6/25/08) Draught at Pivni Galerie in Prague. Deep golden color with a small white head. Aroma has some butterscotch, some malt and a hint of hops. Sweetish flavor with some malt, butterscotch and some light bitterness in the finish. Light-bodied. Not very pleasant.

bottle, 6.5%. Being near the expiry date the ber spent the last days tucked away quietly in my fridge. Nevertheless, when I opened it there was a fountain of foam all over my room. The rest, which I managed to pour into my glass, was full of floaties. Fruity nose, fruity flavour. Not bad, but rather unusual. Malty, slightly dry and bitter in the finish with a hint of warming alcohol. I think I may have to re-rate this some time.

Bottle (50 cl, says anv 6.5 % on the label) from Furseth, mange takk!. Hazy deep golden with a medium fluffy white head. Tropical fruits (peaches, mango) dominate the aroma along with butterscotch and some floral hops. Medium bodied with soft carbonation, well balanced with a short bitter finish.

Bottled. A hazy orange beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet fruity combined with a dusty hoppy note. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of hay and straw, leading to a dry finish.

Clear yellow colour with a white head. Sweet fruity aroma with a light grassy note. Malty, grainy and fruity sweet flavor with a light dry and grassy finish.

Bottle: on the label it stands 6,5%: Clear yellow colour, with a werry thin head. Flavor has gas, hay grainy,and a dry hopy nose. Flavor has almost the same, but has a thin to medium fruity body.and a short fruitu/dry hopy finish.

Bottled. Golden coloured. Unclear. Off white fluffy head. Fruity and a bit too sweet aroma. Flavour has grassy and herbal notes, but is dominated by fruits. Is medium bodied. Quite dry. Has a mild bitterness in the end.

Bottled. Golden coloured. Apples in the aroma. Sweetish malty flavour with a fruity touch. Rather soft.

Bottle. Pivovarsky Klub, Praha Golden colour, fluffy head. Loads of butterscotch here, in both aroma and taste. I like diacetyl, but here not much else is sensed. Still, hops back it all up in the end, in the finish. Diacetyl bomb!
