Maria (9565) - 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.

12HundredBaud (262) - Sausalito, California, USA - MAY 20, 2011
50cl bottle from a supermarket in Swansea. It pours a clear deep amber liquid with a huge bubbly/spongy white head that lasts throughout the beer but leaves no lacing. The aroma is light but quite complex: there are mostly floral hops, with some mild herbs, along with a little citron, wheat and a malt base (a little caramel). It tastes likewise, maybe a little maltier, but mild. It is lightly sweet and medium bitter. It has a nice herbal aftertaste. Carbonation is soft and it has a dry finish. A little watery taste and light-medium body, which is poor for an ale like this. Very refreshing and drinkable, though. Interesting summer beer with a very nice presentation (it lacks customized crown cap, though).

JoeMcPhee (7621) - 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.
