Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - MAR 5, 2009
Bottled. A hazy light golden beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and light notes of spices. The flavor is sweet with notes of spices, malt, straw, and citrus. The body is thin.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of oh6gdx. Hazy yellow with a tall and lively white head. Fresh and lightly citrusy aroma with some yeastiness. Light body, yeast and citrus notes with a whiff of phenols. Rather bitter finish. A strange brew. 190209

50 cL bottle, courtesy of Papsoe/oh6gdx. Pours hazy yellow with a white and slowly collapsing head. Dry and phenolic yeasty aroma. Mild sweet malty and yeasty flavoured with a light phenolic touch. Dry and yeasty finish. Belgian yeasty brew - not a California Common!

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JUN 16, 2008
UPDATED: SEP 5, 2008 Bottled at Old Bank, Turku. Clear golden, rich airy head. Ashy fruity nose. Light-medium bodied with spritzy mouthfeel. Short but lively wheat malt flavour followed by banana and minerals. Finishes with salty hop bitter finish. An interesting, drinkable beer

oh6gdx (15510) - Vasa, FINLAND - MAY 31, 2008
Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is sweet malts, grassy hops and some mild vegetably notes. Flavour is bigtime grass, some fudgeish/caramellish malts with mild wheaty and saltwatery notes. A good, easy-to-drink and refreshing summerbeer.

TBone (9096) - Pori, FINLAND - MAY 18, 2008
Bottled (BB 01/2009)
Hazy yellow color, small off-white head. Fruity (orange) and maybe a bit spicey - witbier-like aroma. Flavor is yeasty with typical unfiltered beer-like grainy notes. Also kind of bean flavors. Unfiltered lager with wheat beer character. This is funny summer beer from semi-big Laitilan brewery. Maybe the start of series of seasonal beers?
