Ungstrup (11136), Frederiksberg, Denmark Sep 1, 2008 Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of hops, grass, and grapefruit lending it a slight acidity. The flavor is sweet malty with a slight acidic edge on which notes of grass and grapefruit appear, leading to a very sry and bitter finish, where the acidic edge still lingers. The body is thin. Thanks to fonefan and Brugmansia for sharing. thebeertourist (1801), Oslo, Norway Aug 30, 2008 Bottle. Dark amber beer under a huge tan head. Fruity hop aroma, hint of apples and sweet caramel malts, some acidity. Fruity flavours, very bitter. Decent and somewhat different bitter. yngwie (3529), Kristiansand, Norway Aug 30, 2008 Bottle, kindly shared by fonefan. It looks quite nice in the glass, with a hazy, golden body under a dense, medium sized beige head. Unfortunately, that’s where the good things stop. Or at least come to a halt, because the finish is quite decent, with some caramel and a distinct sourish, citric touch. The aroma has some caramel notes too, but is definately overpowered by the dusty, sourish, citric impression. That impression continues in the flavor too, but at least there’s a caramel-sweetness to it. It has a thin and slightly astringent mouthfeel, and even though there’s some caramel sweetness preventing it from being completely sour, I can’t bring myself to give it more than a three on aroma and flavor. Sure, it’s drinkable, but it’s also gone bad. (080822) yespr (6373), Copenhagen O, Denmark Aug 24, 2008 50 cL bottle. Pours slight cloudy orange with a slowly diminishing light yellowish head. Citric/grapefruity and mild acidic hops aroma. Dry hoppy and solid bitter flavour with a distinct citrus to grapefruity base flavour. Lingering bitter and citric finish with a persisting fruity hops flavour. oh6gdx (5903), Vaasa, Finland Aug 6, 2008 Bottled. Orange colour, small head. Aroma is sour fruits, some mild notes of fudge and underlying acidicness. Flavour is quite much the same with the citrusfruits coming on top of all.
