2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Sample from tap at the brewery. Pours golden yellow with a white head. Aroma of cardemmo, strictly slight soapy. Flavour is cardemom, soft sweetness going into a cardemom bitterness blend. Slight soapy finish. I guess this could work for Christmas, but I guess that the 2nd/3rd etc generation scandinavians in Minnesota have taste buds for this I don’t have as a Dane.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Clear golden, some sediment, rich head. Fruity nose with light juicy tangerine and some coriander. Fairly light bodied with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Light soapy and a bit lagerlike with it’s fruityness, but with unmistakable witbier flavours.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz bottle-pours a foamy white head and hazy yellow color…swirled the last few ounces in the bottle, now cloudy yellow. Aroma is coriander, grain/wheat. Taste is coriander, grain/wheat with some sweetness, yeast, some hops to balance. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for picking this out.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Slightly hazy golden beer with a lasting white head. Strong spice aroma, coriander, cardemum, spruce and a touch of citrus. Dry and way over-spiced flavour.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Beer Geek. Hazy golden color with an emphemeral white head. Aroma is a bit menthol. Near medium body with spritzy carbonation. Flavor is a bit mentholic, quickly reducing to more regular spice. Whatever they used, it is really flavorful. Finish is a bit vegy, but that’s not so bad. Quite an interesting experience.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at the brewery. A rather curious (marketing?) concept. I understand that the addition of cardamom is what provides the "Scandinavian interpretation". Not that any of that really matters. Pale gold colour and rather clearer than I would expect from the style. Lots of spices in evidence, with coriander to the fore. However, I can’t say I specifically picked up the cardamom. There’s a light lemony bite in the flavour but there’s also a slightly sweet overall impression. Pleasant enough
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft at Beer Sellar, KY. Poured hazy orange with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Moderate yeasty orange citrus aroma. Light to medium body with a light sticky texture. Medium citrus sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at the DRE. Hazy golden pour, with 1-finger white head. Aroma was very citric, with some orange zest, coriander, and hop notes. Citric flavor, with an initial tart citric blast of orange zest, then the floral spices and some fresh ground black pepper register. Medium palate with a nice witty finish.
