Ungstrup (22904) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JUN 13, 2004
A orange beer with sediment floating around and a fine white head. Both the aroma and flavor is sweet with notes of coriander and oranges. The body is a little thin.

Papsoe (21781) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - OCT 28, 2007
(Bottle 33 cl) Hazy, amber golden with a tall, dense, handsome head with excellent retention. Spicy aroma with some yeast. Medium body with a light malt base. Dry as a bone with the same astringent, leathery bitterness as found in Orval - although not as refined. But quite interesting. 211007

yespr (20653) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - NOV 18, 2007
33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a huge white head. Spiced and herbal aroma, not good and uninviting. Flavour is nice malty with a nice sweetness and spice mix. Has a slight soapy and leathery feel. Ends with a mild spice note. Terrible aroma but nice flavour.

MiP (11254) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - FEB 15, 2006
Draught. Spicy aroma, a bit like a wheat beer, fresh fruity hops. Cloudy amber colour. Big, stable, creamy white head. Very hop aromatic flavour. Fruity, almost perfumy, but very nice. OK bitterness. Soft carbonation. Has some alcohol feel, but not too much.
