November 2012: Shared 500 ml bottle from Vinmonopolet, at Cardinal Yule beer tasting. Surprisingly dull aroma, no sign of the typical wheat beer notes, just some dust. The flavour is somewhat better than the aroma, sweetish notes, hints of cloves and banana. Very far from a great beer though, the most inferior I’ve had from Indslev.
