Atomic gold hue; the head is foamy, white and short-lived. Soft aroma of hay and white bread toast, light accent of white pepper along with a sliver of graininess. As it warms, an air of salted oatmeal comes across. A touch overly sweet for the body and limited complexity. The finish has a soft, floral bitterness and a mild dryness. Develops some bubble gum over time. Light to medium bodied with a silky texture and lively carbonation. A little clumsy at times, but ultimately very drinkable. 33cl bottle, bbe 06.08.2008.

Thinn golden colour. Small DMS aroma but also much nice maltiness ansd lasting foam. Malty and some body. Not to much hops and bitterness but right amounts for a pils.

Looks quite like an ordinary lager, the hops in the finish are a bit too sour.

330ml can. Blind horizontal tasting.
Hoppy, but vegetably, and physically dense in the air, aroma. Carried through in the taste, but some extra tang too from what’s presumably the hops. Palate is soft at first, but becomes nastier over time. The finish leaves you with vegetably fumes, and acrid hops. Only finished this because I’m hardcore.

(Can 33 cl) Courtesy of oh6gdx. Clear golden with a creamy, white and lacing head. Sweet, lightly fruity nose. Medium body with very sweet malts and brewing cereal - a little sulphur perhaps. The finish is dry with some alcohol showing. 260208

[Can, Tasting @ Papsoe] Clear golden with tiny white head. Sweet aroma with malt and fruity notes. Grassy flavor with cardboard notes. Ends light bitter.
