 Ungstrup (14754), Frederiksberg, Denmark
Sep 26, 2007 Bottled. A unclear orange beer with gunk floating around under a fast disappearing beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of fruit. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of spices, fruit, yeast, and coriander, leading to a dry and slightly alcoholic finish.

Apr 27, 2007 (Bottle 65 cl) Completely unclear orangey golden with a handsome, off-white head. Spicy, tart, citrusy nose. Medium body with plenty of fruit flavours - citrus in particular - and spices. Has this light and refreshing tartness. The finish is distinctly bitter. Another interesting American Saison. 230407

Nov 25, 2005 Dull amber colour and big - a little too big - head. I hate when I have to take five minutes to pour a nice looking glass of beer. The aroma is rough as guts - musty with rotting fruits. I went back for a second smell and it was just as bad. A third try halfway through the glass was no improvement. Just a bad smelling beer. The flavour isn’t a whole lot better, though at least it bordered on palatable. It’s astringent, with faint orange notes peeking out from behind a wall of choking yeastiness. Way too much yeast taste in this one. There’s hardly anything else. Unbalanced and unpleasant. It’s been so long since my last Crustacean that I forgot Rogue can make horrible beer but now I’m reminded.

Dec 5, 2007 Cloudy blond color. The aroma smells of malt but also of orange soda (Fanta?). Some malt body, but the spicy mix (and orange peels) makes of it a horrible brew.

Oct 23, 2005 (draft, labeled as Saison, at Max’s on Broadway, identified as 7% ABV) Cloudy amber body with off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel, maple, grapefruit. Taste is moderately sweet, pine, caramel, maple, light herbal, herb, metallic. Medium body with some syrup. Seems more like a muddle than a Saison.
