Jan 6, 2010 Cloudy yellow/orange with a tiny white head that settles quickly to nothing and leaves scant lacing.
Aroma of flowers, grass and fresh bread dough.
Classic Mikkeller hops at the start and finish. In between is lots of malt and yeast. Very straightforward.
Thick and chewy, great body.
This does not resemble a pilsener. Very nice, better on draught than in the bottle - smoother with less apparent alcohol.

Jan 4, 2010 Bottle. quite enjoyable beer. Tame tasting but with that Mikkelller affinity for hops. Caramel malt driven, 8%? didnt seem like it at all. Nice golden colored brew

Jan 1, 2010 Tasted from a bomber bottle, purchased in early 2009 (assumed 2008 bottling).
Very light pitted fruit aroma. Also a very light yeasty smell and slight lemon zest that could possibly be attributed to hops. As the beer warms, there is a slight caramel maltiness that comes through.
The color is orange with a light amber tint. The beer is cloudy with a frothy, off-white head.
The beer has a slight sweetness which I think shows the higher alcohol content. It is quite bitter, and has a sour lemon flavor that lingers for a while.
Medium body, slightly oily. Average carbonation with a longish bitter finish.
This is a beer of great pedigree, and drunk at it’s peak, would get a much higher score. This bottle is simply a little past prime drinking. The most fun thing about the Draft Bear is the lemon essence that goes from light on the aroma to strong on the palate, and even comes through with the oily texture.

Dec 19, 2009 75cl bottle. Hazy orange to golden and slightly hazy beer. White head is huge, rocky and white in colour. Enormous amount of fruity and floral hops on the nose is something to experience: peach, lemon, sweet orange, honey and fresh pine needles. Toffy and caramelly maltiness give balancing sweetness. Clean and crisp pilsner-malty finsh. The alcohol is totally absent. Some pea soup-like off flavor appears when it gets too warm. The taste is dry and very bitter, but the amount of malts used cuts the sharpest edge. Palate is medium bodied and surprisingly smooth. Long and bitter finish. Top-class drinkability. Delicious, dangerous...

Dec 3, 2009 It poured a hazy golden liquid with a big foam that left lots of lacing. Smell and taste was very fruity with hops, passion fruit, peaches. Medium body and medium bitterness. Very nice! Best lager ever!

Nov 30, 2009 750 ml bottle. Golden orange colour, thick and foamy off-whte head. Very pleasant aroma of citrus and other fruits, pine and some sweet malts. The flavour is malty, with a little caramel, some citrus fruits and a warm, dry and strongly bitter hoppy finish. Delicious.
