 sebletitje (1499), Tampa, Florida, USA
Jun 26, 2009 bottle at Gotherborg beerfest
pours golden, light white head.
Aroma is hoppy with light malty notes
Taste, hoppy, floral sweet palate; borderline honey, remains bittersweet with notes of wheat, some malts add for a smooth palate.
Simple and easy to drink.

Jun 20, 2009 Pours a clear medium to light gold with a nice white head, fades a bit but leaves a film. Aroma is bready malts, but has a slight skunked hop aroma. Bready malts along with some herbal and spicy hops and a slight metallic finish. High carbonation detracts from the flavors and mouthfeel.

Jun 7, 2009 Really not all that bad. Aroma was quite pleasant: More sweet than bitter, very fresh (from a can so no light struck probs), very "beery". Poured with a big, foamy head that settles down to a thin cover and some lace. Color is a clear pale yellow. Flavor is like aroma. Body is a touch thin. Ok carbonation. Clean, pleasant finish. Definitely a session beer. Got this on at Sam’s in Chi.

May 26, 2009 Looked like carbonated pear juice. A light head appeared quickly but was almost gone within the first minuites. Had a decent pear aroma along with a light pianapple laste and some pink candy???? seems strange. Must’ve been cause I was on my 6th or 7th beer. Buy a 4 pack and slam em back - a good way to enjoy it!

May 17, 2009 extremely pale yellow, fluffy white head, quite lacy. nose is strongly corn syrupy. flavor is sweet sweet corn syrup (must be the ekstra). cloyingly sweet finish, oily mouth feel. pretty dreadful, not worth a repeat. single bottle from binnys beverage depot in orland park. thank goodness it is cheap enough to want me to kick it up a point or two.

May 4, 2009 Light yellow, with quickly diseappering head. Not really foamy, so it does not match the BJCP definition of a Munich Helles or Dortmunter Export.
Malty aroma.
Sour salty(!) flavour. Somer power, and
well balanced with hop. No obvious alcohol in the equation.
Thin-medium body. To thick to be refreshing.
I’m not well versed in german style beers, and I could not classify this according to BJCP. However, since it is not overly sweet with some hop, I would guess this is a Munich helles.
Not very interesting.
Purchased in Krakow.

May 1, 2009 Bottle 50cl.
Clear medium yellow color with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, gain, toasted, sour malt, paper, cardboard, rubber. Flavor is moderate sweet, light bitter and sour with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. [20090122]
Papillon (139), Sudbury, Ontario, Canada
Apr 24, 2009 500 mL Bottle. Pale straw body with a frothy white head that settles to a thin but tenacious foamy film that laces the sides of the glass generously. Aroma is malt, grains, and grassy hops with an earthy note and a sharpness about it. Sweet malt with a syrupy undertone dominates in the flavor with a sweet nutty aftertaste that lingers a bit in the finish. This is good beer.
