Bottle. Hazy yellow color with a medium head. Sweet fruity aroma with a yeasty note. Malty and quite sweet flavor with a yeasty and light spicy finish, but it becomes very watery.

Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JUL 2, 2003
The aroma is sweet, slightly fruity and slightly wheaty. The color is a clear yellow with a beutiful head. The flavor is very fruity with wheat and lemon notes. It is soft, a little acidic and ending on a dry bitterness. It has a good palate.

Papsoe (21781) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - SEP 29, 2005
(Bottle 33 cl) Slightly cloudy golden beer with a creamy, white head leaving some lacework. Marked yeasty aroma and some coriander up there too. Soft and lightly malty with a weak perfumy touch from the coriander. Only the slightest hint of hops in the finish. A very accessible and pleasant "Blonde" that hardly can offend anyone. On the other hand it’s not really very thrilling. 270905

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a white head. Light acidic aroma to slight brett. Flavour is dry malty, light caramel flavour. Goes into a slight caramel note and spiced note. Nice mellow finish.

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - MAY 17, 2004
Bottled. Hazy golden. Estery and fruity. Firm with balanced sweetness and notes of curacao and wheat malt. Some grassy hops creates a nice, bitterish finish. I truly enjoyed this beer!

oh6gdx (15510) - Vasa, FINLAND - AUG 7, 2006
Bottled. Hazy yellow colour, big white head. Wheat, yeast, malts and fruits in aroma. Flavour is the same in a very wellbalanced and pleasant mix. Like a good little brother to the triple.

Golden colour. Yeasty, boring flavour. Tannin aftertaste.
