Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - AUG 12, 2003
The aroma is very fruit sweet. The color is red-brown and it has a beutiful but disappearing head. The flavor is of lingonberries, fruit, and dry wood. It ends on a slight bitterness. It has an OK palate.

Papsoe (21782) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - AUG 8, 2005
(Bottle 33 cl) There ought to be hop-alert printed somewhere on this beer, this truly is a bitter beer. Dutch beers this strong are usually malty and sweet, and even though this certainly contains some malty sweetness the hops overpower everything. A spicy, aromatic bitterness - but bitter indeed. Very bitter. Dark amber with a gigantic, beige shaving foam-like head. A truly unusual beer. 210304

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a huge white head. Fruity and slight citric aroma. Flavour is quite sweet fruity. Ends mellow fruity, malty with a decent note of yeasty spiced notes.

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - NOV 21, 2002
Bottled. Orange coloured, cloudy. Very flowery aroma. Medium bodied and very sweet. All other flavours are hidden behind the wall of sugar and flowery hops.

oh6gdx (15510) - Vasa, FINLAND - JAN 29, 2006
Bottled. Hazy orange colour, mediumsized foamy head. Weak barnyardish caramellish aroma, which is a bit weird. Flavour is sweet malty with wheaty hints. Pleasant flavour.

joergen (13935) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - MAY 25, 2005
Bottled at DBF 2005. Clear amber coloured with a small off white head. Sweet aroma with notes of bananas and spices. Sweet spicy flavour with notes of yeast and fruit.

MiP (11255) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - JUN 4, 2005
Bottle. Semi-malty aroma. Muddy, dark yellow colour. Astringent, malty and moldy flavour with a little acidity. Bitterness is a little too harsh for me. Malty/sweet aftertaste.
