Maria (9632) - Thisted, DENMARK - JAN 29, 2009
It is slightly hazy, warm golden with a huge, creamy head. The aroma has notes of fruit, citrus and caramel. The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of loads of fruit, citrus, peach, delicious caramel and the finish is dry and slightly bitter. It is very well balanced and delicious to drink.

JoeMcPhee (7673) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - SEP 15, 2006
Bottle courtesy of geth_in_beer... many thanks Geth! Golden ale with a thick white head. Aroma is quite lovely, earthy pale malt, some woody hops, resin and slightly spicy with some bitter orange hop flavour as well. Flavour is well balanced and fairly hoppy, with earthy/spicy aromatics. Marmalade-like fruitiness over lean crisp malts. Fairly perfumy as well.

JorisPPattyn (7363) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - MAY 29, 2007
Small white head over deep grain-golden beer. Very grainy, near chaff-like aroma, but some whiffs of typical UK hops. Rather sweet, malty taste, even maize-like. Hops are virtually untraceable in the taste. Gets honey, even jam-like. Water MF, despite the slickness from all the unfermented sugars. Very ho-hum ale. Interesting, but nothing more. Thanks to world traveler Stefaan

Bottle. Golden with a small head. Aromas are caramel malts with sweet wheat and lemon. Quite fresh and fruity. Flavours are sweet caramel malts with lemon and apricot. Has a nice sweet wheatiness. Hoppy and moreish on the finish. Refreshing and easy to drink. A good Summer beer.

Quack-Duck (6885) - Down South, GERMANY - AUG 30, 2009
bottle, Tesco Pont-y-pŵl. Deep dark gold colour, nearly amber with a small touch of foam on top. Hoppy nose. Medium-bodied, solid malty background with lots of perfumy-floral hop flavours and hints of lemon zest and orange. A good summer beer.

Rune (6368) - Tromsø, NORWAY - APR 23, 2007
500ml bottle brought back from Cardiff and shared with CinnamonGirl and Finn in Tromsø.
Unclear, light orange body. Medium white head. Poor in aroma apart for some wheaty notes. Pleasant, but fragile flavour of succulent fruits and herbal hops. Moderate finishing bitterness. Easy to quaff and certainly a session beer for the summertime (18.04.2007).
