Bottle at Bier Cirkus. Hazy blond ale with a ultra resilient white head, and beuatiful lacings. Wonderful sweet vanilla, hops and candy in aroma. Wonderfully creamy mouthfeel, with hops and sweet candy sugar coming out beutifully, and perfumey hops covering all the inside of my mouth. Complex bodied. mmmmm...delicious.

Pour from a bottle revealed golden yellow. Robust white head. Smooth on the palate. Somewhat dry with hop profiles. not terribly complex. Solid blonde.

330ml bottle. Airy, white head, slowly fading. Light yellow body colour with a slight haze. Fresh fruity to the nose with hints of cloves. Refreshing taste of fruits with spiced hops mixed in. Dry bitter endnotes. Soft carbonated. Gentle in the mouth. Served comfortably chilled (eating and drinking upstairs at Den Tatoverede Enke, Copenhagen (19.09.2008).

Courtesy of Tony @ OTH. Pours golden with white head. Aroma, hoppy, floral with some citrus notes. Taste, hoppy, close to medicinal herbs, sweet with good carbonation.

Very pale yellow as the slight sediment sneaks in a few small particles cloud but do not darken this brew. Faint white head retains only a ring with lacing clinging the glass. Nose like a tripel, spicy, musty notes. Lightly carbonated feel on the palate. Very light spicy palate is pleasant. Must and citrus notes finish a yeasty and hoppy spicy beer. More tripel than blond in my opinion but great nonetheless.
