Ungstrup (24030) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - SEP 26, 2011
Bottled. A pale golden beer with a huge lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of spices, yeast, and some caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of fruits, malt, caramel, and yeast, leading to a dry yesty finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Papsoe (23023) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - SEP 26, 2011
Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours a clear amber with a creamy and lacing off-white head. Sweet caramel and fruits with quite some yeast in the nose. Solid body, caramel but dominated by an extreme yeastiness. Hardly any hops. So Belgian that it almost hurts. 260911

oh6gdx (16100) - Vasa, FINLAND - SEP 3, 2009
UPDATED: SEP 16, 2009 Bottled (from Belgian Shop). Reddish amber colour, small slightly off white fluffy head, leaves nice lace. Aroma is caramel malts, some slight vegetables and mild grass and earth. Flavour is quite much the same with also a slight hint of alcoholic sweetness.
Draught@Mallaskukko, Turku. In addition to the above, this one has rather sweet tropical fruit juice concentrate/extreme nectary notes in the aroma. In the flavour it’s quite the same but has a bunch of spicyness to it as well.

Clear dark amber brown color, small off-white head. Sticky red currant - strawberry aroma. Harsh, grassy, fruity, alcoholic finish. Sticky mouthfeel. Like more alcoholic version of mixed Leffe blond and brune.

yngwie (9206) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - AUG 27, 2011
Bottle, as Biere de Printemps. A clear one, golden in color and with a foamy off-white head. Fruity, dried fruits aroma with a sugary touch. Some notes of tea. The flavor is sweet and fruity, some maltyness and a little bitterness. A warming touch towards the mostly bitter and fruity finish. Dryish, full-bodied. A quite decent one, although nothing special. 110827

Bought @ AD Delhaize, Brussels.
Light hazy pale amber with a medium, frothy, off-white head. Aroma has light coriander, caramel, mild fruit. Medium carbonation, fine dry and light creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is mild, caramel, light peppery, some coriander. Fairly pleasant dry and mild spicy bitter finish. Fine beer.
