Tycho52 (63) - California, USA - MAR 16, 2012
Tasted on draft. Hazy golden color with a cream colored head with decent lacing. Aroma of grapefruit and alcohol. Full-bodied with a front end hop flavor and fruit flavor. Very enjoyable with the pizza that I had it with.

Ungstrup (26267) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - NOV 17, 2010
Draft. A hazy reddish-amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has strong notes of fruits - primarily peaches, combined with medium notes of yeast, and light notes of spices. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, fruit, alcohol, and yeast, leading to a dry finish where the notes of yeast, fruit, and wheat lingers. It has a strong body.

womencantsail (6896) - Garbage Grove, California, USA - FEB 21, 2010
A: The pour is a light brown color with a thin white head. S: A light hoppiness to it, but quite a bit of chocolate and caramel malt. T: Not quite as sweet as I would have thought, but still a fair amount of caramel and dark fruits. M: Kind of light on the tongue for a "big" beer. Good level of carbonation, but still, a bit thin on the feel. D: Not terrible, but I don’t know if I’d want to drink it again either.

yespr (26042) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - AUG 2, 2009
From tap at breakwater. Pours hazy dark orange with a small and lacing white head. Light fruity and malty aroma. Solid caramelish malt flavour with a hoppy bitterness and downplayed fruity note. Ends dry and yet somewhat malty finish.

Papsoe (25131) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - JUL 27, 2009
On tap. Slightly hazy amber golden with a creamy off-white head leaving laces. Lots of fruit in the nose with yeast and distinct alcohol. Very full-bodied with lots of fruit - almost perfumy - and a light yeastiness. Ends sweet with no bitterness. Excellent! 080709

bb (5888) - Alamo, California, USA - JUL 23, 2009
Draft. Amber beer with a whitish head. Light grapefruit and light malt aroma. Grapefruit and light pine flavor with light summer fruits and a light graininess. Medium bodied. OK bitterness. Grapefruit and light pine lingers with light woodsiness and light malt.

BLButler08 (12) - Carlsbad, California, USA - JUN 2, 2009
A very malt intense beer with a god balance between the hops and malts. The Strong ale is delicious and a must drink while I was trying the strong I was told to try a strong blonde and I must say that is just amazing.

Lagunitasfan (1308) - San Diego, California, USA - APR 2, 2009
On tap at stone. Clear light amber with white head. Nose is light. Sweetness, with a bit of alcohol. Taste is rather light too. Not what I expect from the style. Not sure what I’d call it, but didn’t seem to match the name. Sweet, malty, and clear alcohol.
