mikkopen (90), Oulu, Finland May 3, 2008 Cloudy orange-brown, head white and dense. Sour apple smell, reminiscent of cider. Flavour is fruity, a little sweet, with sour apples and mild hoppiness. A very interesting beer.
bermod (82), Lappeenranta, Finland Jun 20, 2008 Malty-fruitiness, vegetables, grains, grass and yeast in aroma and flavor. Some alcohol in aroma also. jerc (3056), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 6, 2008 2008-06-01. Hazy golden yellow, small off-white head. (3+) Interesting aroma, yeasty, light fruit and caramel, pale malt. (6+) Similarly yeasty flavour, pleasant sweet caramel and pale malt. Average palate is pleasantly smooth. Simple quaffable brew. Bottle, Mondial, Montreal, Thanks DuctTape Rastacouere (5202), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Jun 3, 2008 Objectively speaking:
An honest golden ale that hesitates between English and Belgian inspirations.
I like:
Appealing citrusy hops. Soft cerealic pale malts, rather fresh, bready, clean. No acidity. Easy-drinking for 7%. Firm-bodied.
I dislike:
Limited yeast character, no fruitiness.
