"A light and refreshing beer. A surprisingly full mouth-feel with a superior balance of malt and hop, and a rewarding fruit finish."

Bottled. Golden in colour and poured with a small head. Strange cardboard like taste that lingered long after I had drank the last drop.Strange.

Papsoe (25131) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - MAY 16, 2005
UPDATED: JUL 3, 2005 (Bottle 50 cl) Fully golden, clear beer with a rather high carbonation. The very good aroma-hops spices up a traditional bitter proving that also a low alcohol beer can contain a lot of flavour. Very hoppy. 090504

(on botte) I´ve become a vey big fan of this brewry, but this brew in perticular is too sweet for me. Allmost a passoinfruit, apple aroma and the wateryness of an ale, makes it a sodapoppy fealing to drink. low-bitter ending, just not right for me.
