Green yellow, creamy head. coardboardy malt, light saaz. Ok hop profile, maltiness lacking, doughy, not crisp. Flour aftertaste.

Aarhus, DK Bottled Malty body and a solid bitterness. Carbonation OK - a good frokost beer

Yellow colored with cloudy appearance. Medium sized yellow head. Strongly hopped and nice aroma with caramel and fruits, rather American aroma here with slight lemon and grass also. Medium bodied, soft palated. Flavor has even more sweet start with still dominating hops. Bubblegum and fine caramelly notes also here with soft palate. Aftertaste is still caramelly and hopped, I like this balance here. ESL, well, more like strong pilsner for me.

Bottle. Cell-phone rating. No detailed notes regarding appearance and aroma. Flavour is way more fresh and hoppy, than one would expect. Alcohol is well hidden and this is very fresh strong lager to quench your thirst with.

Bottle. Clear medium yellow orange color with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, toasted, hay, fruity, moderate hoppy, grass, notes of peach. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texyure is oily, carbonation is soft. (100308)

Bottle, Average white head, mostly lasting. Yellow color. Light hoppy aroma. Moderate bitter flavor.

Hazy golden with a nice head. The aroma has notes of fruit, citrus, grass and hops. The flavour has a nice bitterness, a light sourness, notes of fruit, grass, malt and the finish is rather dry with notes of grapefruit.

Bottle, bought @ Vinspecialisten, Kolding Storcenter. Pours a light hazy deep yellow with a great, medium, creamy off white head. Aroma is heavily hoppy, grass, pine and grapefruit. Quite full and rather creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is heavily hoppy with a crispyness and freshness from the Pilsner malts. Very nice.

Comments: Crisp yet thick, full-bodied example. It works tremendously in my opinion. Intense floral saaz in a firm, but permissive suit.
