Copenhagen 7/1 2024. 44 cl can from Meny, Borups Allé, Frb. F. Amundsen's usual can design in green and red with a open-mouthed Santa on a bike with a nervous looking Rudolph riding behind.
Pours unclear - almost hazy - golden yellow with a mid-sized white head. Stable. Settles as a thin, layer of foam stretching to cover the surface of the beer. Crawling up the sides of glass. Substantial lacing.
Aroma is medium intense with a sweet odor of Stone fruit mining with a nice and pleasant citric scent- Peach and mango. Lemon and lime. Touch of grapefruit.
Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, soft, lightly tingling texture.
Flavor is medium intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by a slightly stronger citric bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter with a light sweet undertone. Lingers for a while, Finish is semi-dry.
A pretty fresh and zesty Hop Sack.

first beer of the 2022 beer advent calendar from craft central, dublin. last year’s was great so expecting big things this year. enjoying this while watching germany fight for their lives against costa rica. this is a pretty mediocre beer though, has orange added, the nose is a bit on the nurofen side of things, taste is very orangey and citrusy, some white bread malt flavour and pine also, medium bitterness on the finish, light to medium bodied with medium carbonation, nothing special
