(Draught@Plan B as "Grauballe Triple").
Clear amber color, small beige head. Fruity (apricot-mango), yeasty nose. Dry, papery malty, fresh hoppy and a bit alcoholic. Drym leathery aftertaste. Much closer to Belgian trippel than Danish pilsner :)

(Draught, "Grauballe Tripel"@Plan B) Clear amber with a small head. Grainy-malty aroma with yeasty fruitiness. Flavor is unfortunately somewhat gluey-solventy with low bitterness and no traces of the fruitiness of the aroma. Medium body, low-medium carbonation. Aroma was ok, but flavor is too solventy.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: SEP 30, 2008 Draught, drank as "Grauballe Tripel" Huge, off-white head over orange-amber beer; well carbonated. Very fruity, strawberry, citrus, rosehips, and warm malts. Caramel, Saison-like farmyard odours and spices; not sweet, dry with some hops. Quite dry MF, long dry-malty aftertaste, with spiciness abundant (nutmeg, orangepeel). There’s some commercial Saisons that taste pretty similar. I thought "Tripel" already weird, but Pilsener, for Pete’s sake????

Thanks to yespr for the bottle! The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Very much foam. Not too hoppy, a little bit spicy, like wheat. Finish a little bit stronger. An unusual pilsner, but interesting!

(on bottle) For a danish "pilsner", this actually hold a hoppy carater, both in the grassy nose and the semi-dry finish. There´s a nice carbonationlevel and and pretty golden color. I can understand it wun the competion for best pilsner at ØF back in ´06. A lot of people could learn from this.

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: APR 13, 2009 bottle 33cl. Nice try at a pilsener, but nothing special. No harm done, no big surprise. Label claims this to be a contest winner. hummmm. no comments there - i would call it differnt than the other mainstream pilseners, but not much better. Taste is a little fuller than a hof, and there is some hint of a sour note. otherwise, it is (to me) same old same old.
rerate:dark orange, large thick offwhite head. aro: earth, hops, faint bitterhops. flavor:caramelly hoppy, bitter.
