| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 2, 2007 500mL handbottle, bonus courtesy of sk8viking. Thanks a ton, Rene! Pours a hazy orangish rust color with yellow edges; thin off-white head with fine-bubbled retention. Impressively dense, chewy, resiny grapefruit and citrus aroma; hints of burnt caramel. Light carbonation. Medium-to-full mouthfeel, with resiny grapefruit hops upfront and a seamless caramel maltiness following things up; even after a lengthy travel time, this still shows a solid density of hops and resiny citrus; well-integrated. Medium, chewy citrus and maple syrup finish. jerohen (1613), Bussum, Netherlands

Randalised draught at Ølfestival 2007. First randalised beer I have tried and it was a pretty damn good one. To be perfectly honest it’s not the most complex beer I have ever had but what it does it does superbly well. Superb hoppy aroma with big bags full of fresh cut grass and alcohol. Maybe a slight sweet toffee note too. Flavour is pretty much perfectly in line. Everything that is great about hoppy beers is present and topped off with creamy alcohol. Wonderful creamy palate. Excellent beer. ***We also tried the regular version which personally I thought was even better and possibly had a little more character due to a little more malt than the randalised. However the randalised got the rate due to us trying it first.
