Copenhagen 2/1 2021. 50 cl bottle from Lidl, Lygten, Kbh. NV. Simple design for Vestfyens Nordic Craft Beer brand in a light green version where I can understand that this is a refreshing, lager with a pleasant taste of Elderflower.

Pours unclear, golden yellow with a mid-sized white head. Settles as a thin layer of foam struggling to cover the surface of the beer. No lacing.

Aroma is medium intense with a malty sweet odor and some tart notes. Sweet pale malts. White sugar. Citrus and sour berries.

Medium strong carbonation. Thin, watery, greasy, lightly tingling texture.

Flavor is medium intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by slightly more moderate sourness. Aftertaste is sourish with a sweetish undertone. Lingers shortly. Watery finish.

Strange timing of a “Spring Ale” in January - and a bit sweet and watery at that.

A: Pale golden, very opaque, small head which disappeared fairly quickly without leaving much lacing.

S: Lime cordial and coriander.

T Followed the nose, was quite sour but not in an overly offensive manner.

M: Medium body, low carbonation.

O: Felt and tasted like an ancient beer style, nice enough to want more.
