Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

Old bottle with no dates on it - Golden body, clear, big bubbled white head (the contains the biggest protein cake I have ever seen 4 cm thick); Medium sized nose more pilsner like then anything else, some grass and some wood sorrel; Soft thin texture, soft carbonation, bitter and very apple like fruity acidy; The fruit acid is all there is in the finish, green aromas, 1 dimensional. I hope and think this bottle is broken.

(Bottle) Pours amber with yeast floaters. Light fruity, medium sweet and tiny acid-ish aroma with notes of malt and yeast. Light fruity and light sour/acid flavour with hints of yeast. Light to medium sweet and a tiny bit bitter. Rather abrupt finish with only hints of malt lingers. A bit dry. Hints of sour bread. Light to medium body.

UPDATED: MAR 9, 2007 (33 cl bottle at The Rover, Göteborg) Huge yeast particle copper color, small white head. Sour yeasty scent, also milk. Milk and acidic taste. Spritzy mouthfeel, low bitterness.

Draught at DTE. Clear amber - white head. Fruity, apple, pear, yeasty, spicy, fresh, light sourness, light vinegar, woody, rubber, sweetness, Dry sour vinegar finish. Strange !!

Bottled. An amber beer with a light orange head. The aroma is very sweet with notes of fruit, and hints of acidity. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of oranges, leading to a dry and spicy end where light coriander notes comes thru. The body is thin for 6.5% ABV. OK, but a bit boring.

Draught. Woody taste, quite salty (salty fish). Sweet and fruity aroma. Sweet long end.

rbesg06, bottle at the rover. golden with some sediment. sour, yeasty aroma, lots of weird apple sourness, almost ciderish, light and frothy texture. weird but good

Clear dark golden coloured with a medium sized head. Slightly metallic and malty with notes of hops. Too mild, but pretty well balanced.
