gunnfryd (2663), Kristiansand, Norway Jun 30, 2008 Bottle. Brown orange colour with a beige head. Aroma is citrus, hay, caramel. Flavour is sweet, citrus, hay, caramel, malt. Ordinary beer. yngwie (3342), Kristiansand, Norway Jun 30, 2008 Bottle. It pours a hazy, orange-copper body with a quite small beige head leaving nice lacings. When sniffing the brew, I start to wonder if it’s infected, with it’s aromas of citrusy sourness, old wet hay, rotting fruit and chalk. There’s also caramel and fruityness, which seems to be what other people have found. It wasn’t really bad, but certainly nothing I would be proud of. The flavor was much better, but still not what it was intended to be I think, with a slightly sourish, chalky and dusty flavor to follow the sweetness and fruityness that dominated. The beer finished in the same way. Medium body. Hopefully this beer was better out of the brewery before Easter, than it was one and a half month later. (080509) Papsoe (9771), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jun 14, 2008 (Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of Myrup. Hazy amber golden with floating impurities and a creamy, beige head. Sweetish, fruity, caramellish nose. Quite full-bodied, sweetish caramel, fruit and a little ashyness. Some bitterness in the finish. Not sure if this was intended as a Bock, but if so it didn’t really come out as such. Still a decent brew though. 270408 KimJohansen (2460), Copenhagen V, Denmark May 4, 2008 Hazy amber with medium off white head. Sweet fruity aroma with hoppy notes. Sweet flavor with ashy notes. Ends sweet. yespr (5611), Copenhagen O, Denmark Apr 30, 2008 50 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a diminished white head. Yeasty and light roasted malt aroma. Peas/vegetable note anda light spiced note too. Flavour is sweet malty with a very minor vegetable note. Ends with a light yeasty and hoppy spice note, light ashtray note beneath. Rather dry finish.
