4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20 bsp77 (724) - Minnesota, USA - NOV 2, 2009
UPDATED: SEP 7, 2011 Poured from bottle into Pilsner glass.
Clear, bright gold with a stark white head.
Aroma of fresh cut grass, straw and some spiciness.
Backbone of fruit (apple, pear?), bread, grass and straw which is quickly overtaken by a very spicy finish. Leaves a persistent bitter aftertaste.
Moderate carbonation (but lower than many Pils; I like it) and relatively smooth light to medium body. Finishes exceedingly dry.
Damn good Pils; in fact, maybe the best. What else is there to say?
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 cyrenaica (745) - Milton, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 2, 2009
355ml bottle
5.3% ABV
I tried this beer on September 5, 2009 after purchasing a 6 pack from one of the local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a translucent medium gold colour with a thin white head that quickly disappeared to a ring. The aroma was grass, musk, and hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied and medium carbonation. The flavour was a nice balance of hops and malt, with a yeasty note. Very good.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 NosirIwont (1537) - Aalborg Vestby, DENMARK - OCT 29, 2009
Bottle. 10 days past ‘best before’. Pours a hazy light yellow with a white head. Good lacing. Sweetish, clean, crisp hop aroma with a sharp citrus/lemon note in the background. Flavour is hoppy and bitter, and has the same citrus/lemon note as the aroma. Lingering hop bitterness with grassy notes in the finish. Overall quite alright, but the citrus/lemon note is a bit like the one found in German ‘biermischgetränke’, which is not really my thing, so lower score for that. 29-10-09.
