Crosling (1628), Loveland, Colorado, USA May 20, 2008 Bottle, Stockholm, Sweden. Great appearence, a light orange with a full, creamy, lasting head of foam. Awfully aromatic, but not the nicest aromas, maybe some fruits, leather, polish and plastic. Flavor has a harshness that I don’t like, a lack of finesse. Sour fruits, light fruits, some sweetness and a bit of harsh alcohol on the finish. Not the best beer. TBone (4924), Pori, Finland Mar 22, 2008 Bottled (BB 09/2007)
Hazy orange color, big cloudy off-white head, lace. Flowery hoppy nose, almost like in Öland’s beers! Crisp, pine needle hoppy, alcoholic Belgian type ale. There is some sweetish fruity notes and hops. Quite nice tripel and very close to Unicum Verum. oh6gdx (5680), Vaasa, Finland Mar 22, 2008 Bottled (thanks omhper). Hazy orange colour with huge fluffy and lively head. Aroma is yeasty, fruity and quite spicy. Flavour is earthyness, fruits, spices and also has some quite grassyness in it. Grassy and earthy finish. Rastacouere (5258), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Nov 18, 2007 A huge white foamy and active head covers the cloudy golden body. Serious lacing maintains its position over the liquid. Fairly yeasty, in a spicy way. Its soft malts procure gentle honey notes that match the floral flavours in unisson. More than fair alcohol accompanies the drinker, but an almost wheaty, very soft acidity compensate the loss in drinkability aptly. Phenolic and growingly bitter finish (leafy, floral), though still grainy a plenty. Almost excessive carbonation bites the tongue, but fits better a beer of that type than most, Ungstrup (11031), Frederiksberg, Denmark Nov 1, 2007 Bottled. A hazy orange beer with a lazing white head. The aroma is sweet and very spicy - especially coriander. The flavor is also sweet and very malty and with a more complex but still strong note of spices, leading to a dry spicy finish.
