Draught @ Ølfestival Aarhus 2008.
Unclear medium amber red orange color with a average, frothy, good lancing, mostly diminishing, off-white to beige head. Aroma is fruity, orange - mandarin. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet, moderate bitter and vinegar notes with a average to long duration. Body is medium to light, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. (170508)

Draft at Ølfestival, Århus, 2008. A hazy red-amber beer with a thin lazing head. The aroma is malty on a slightly acidic background and combined with strong notes of spices. The flavor is acidic malty with notes of spices, pine, and star anise, leading to a dry and very tart finish. Why, oh why, is this not sold in Denmark yet?

Århus2008. From tap. Pours slight cloudy and orange with a fully diminished white head. Light acidc and woody aroma. Light spiced too, although not imminent at first. Flavour is woody and dry with a light pinewod needle note. Has a solid acidic and bitter finish with a huge mix of spices. Strange and to be honest, I could not drink a full pint of this nor would I ever drink this again.

UPDATED: MAY 5, 2010 (On tap) Almost clear amber golden with a small, off-white head. Fresh and tart aroma. Medium-bodied, very fruity with a vague underlying sweetness. Very pleasant and balanced. 140908

Bottled. Brownish amber colour with mediumsized off white head, that settles for a rather small one quite quickly. Aroma is sweetish sour along with some fruits,berries, some glue and melted plastic. Also some wooden and vanillaish notes as it warms up. Flavour is quite acidic and sour fruits along with some berries and vanillaish notes. Some underlying wood and alcohol too. Flavour is kind of sour ale meets the alcohol of the big ABV Avery beers. Quite interesting, and might mellow up a bit with age.

Draught at European Beer Festival, Copenhagen. Clear amber, small head. Crystallic malt with some piney tartness. Medium bodied with cookie in mild vinegar. Quite mild, yet odd.

UPDATED: JUN 18, 2008 Bottle. Hazy orange red cloured with a medium sized off white ehad. Light acidic aroma of vanilla, wood, spices and butterscotsch. Light acidic flavour of vanilla, wood, caramel, spices and fruits. Tart finish.

Draught at Københavns Øldage 2009, Valby. Pours a dark golden amber color with a thin off-white head. Has a sweetish spicy herbal aroma with some light smoky hints. Sweetish spicy herbal and funky flavor. Has a sweetish fruity spicy herbal finish.

Tap at EBF: Unclear gold with a off white head. Sour "gløgg" aroma. Sweet fruity - cherries & strawberry. Fruit juice, a bit tart & dry. Very drinkable!

Draught at ÅBF08. Citric aroma, slightly buttery. Cloudy red amber colour. The flavour is also citric. Pine aftertaste. Slightly sweet, in good balance.
