2.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Sampled, bottle @ Pint Meibockfestival. The low rating is due to the carbonation of this beer. There was so much of it I couldn’t taste any of the flavours anymore. Looks and smells promising, nice orange/blond colour, big white head, nose of yeast and malts, flowers, but the taste is sort of a mystery to me.

Bottle @ WSF 2008. Hazy golden with medium white head. Sweet yeasty with fruity and caramel notes.
