Bottle: Poured a lightly hazy yellow color ale with an average foamy head with light retention and some minimal lacing. Aroma of light malt with not much apparent wheat with some strange metallic hops. Taste is also a mix between some lightly sweet malt with some metallic hops and a spicy yeast finish. Body is a bit thin with some average carbonation.

<i>500 ml bottle from Bieropholie, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. BB 07 07 09. DE09/08.</i>
<b>App.</b>: Slightly hazy golden with remnants of a white head.
<b>Aroma</b>: Light grass and straw, a touch of hops, some flinty, wheaty grain, a touch of earthy coriander-like spice, very slightly tangy.
<b>Palate</b>: Medium-ish body and fairly restrained effervescence with a few sharp bubbles.
<b>Flav.</b>: Kinda like the nose – light peppery grassy hops, some wheat and grain, a touch of earthy coriander; dry with basically no bitterness and light mineral malt to finish.
Uninteresting.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 yngwie (8717) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - JAN 1, 2009
Cask at the Wharf, Aalborg. It pours a clear golden body with a thin layer of white bubbles. Looking delicious. Pineapple and grapefruit on the nose, with malt in the background. Quite weak but pleasant. Nice fruity flavor with some lemon and a touch of grapefruit and pineapple. A little malt too. There’s some bitterness towards the finish. Medium body. Good drinkability and refreshing, but quite ordinary. (081022)
