Copenhagen 16/11 2022. 50 cl bottle from BulgarskMad, Åboulevarden, Kbh. N. Off-white label with a little golden logo with a tower and a gate.

Pours clear golden yellow with a mid-sized white head. A bit bubbly. Settles as thin, flimsy layer of foam struggling to cover the surface of the beer. Substantial lacing.

Aroma is medium intense with a sweet malty odor mingling with subdued sourish notes. Sweet pale malts, caramel, toffee, bread, cardboard.

Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, soft, almost flat texture.

Flavor is medium intense with a rather strong sweetness followed by a moderately strong bitterness. Aftertaste is sweetish and laced In caramel. Lingers for a bit. Finish is semi-dry.

A bit flat and somewhat too sweet.

Crystal clear with a golden color. Small and lasting head. Lots of splotches for lace.

Grainy raw barley smell. Light hop in the background.

Highly carbonated with a thinner body. The taste is grainy with a black pepper hop spice. This creates a lengthy aftertaste. A good lawnmower beer but it’s closer to a macro but with plenty of hops.

I tried a 0.33L stein of this beer off the tapper at Skinest Rail's booth at the InnoTrans Expo in Berlin. It poured a clear golden with white head that eventually dissipated and did not leave much lace. The scent had grain and malt notes. The taste was nicely balanced an easy to drink with grain presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

Bottle. Light amber. Thin dense head. Slight haze.
Earthy and grain like aroma. Fresh baked bread and caramel. Unusual.
Muted flavour reflecting the smell. Quite bitter. Not far from a standard Euro lager.
Sparkly carbonation. Light body.
I enjoyed the bouquet.

Hazy golden orange and a white head.
Cereal/bready grains, herbal hop.
Bubbly lighter mouthfeel. Light bitterness.
Fairly nondescript. Saw some locals drinking it so thought I'd chance it. Wouldn't turn it down!

Unfiltered and unpasteurized.
Golen, almost orange color, slightly veiled. Beautiful foam, abundant and creamy.
Malty smell, some yeast, bread, a light fruitiness, but still relatively fresh. Citrus fruits.
After some while, a lot of citrus fruits.
Quite sweet in the mouth, yeasty, but not too bad, overall. Again citrus (orange).
Average body, not a great drinkability, for its relatively sweetness, but not bad.
A bit of tartness, citric, in the aftertaste.
