1226 Syndikatet Strandløven Velskabt Wit Denmark Witbier 3.5

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

Sep. 2019: 500 ml bottle, from Erling Christensen Møbler, Sindal. ABV is 5.0%, 20 IBU. Hazy golden colour, lots of floaties in the glass. Large white head. Moderate wheaty and citrussy aroma with orange peel and coriander. The medium dry flavour has distinct notes of coriander, also cloves, moderate hops. Nice to drink. *Sampled again today, 330 ml bottle, from BilkaToGo, Skalborg. No floaties in the glass this time, otherwise much the same.

1227 Tuborg Classic Denmark Vienna / Amber Lager 2.7

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

July 2010: I remember the Danish version as an acceptable lager with some caramel sweetness. Rerate, Norwegian version brewed by Ringnes, 500 ml can: ABV is 4.6%. Golden (deep golden, maybe) colour, moderate white head. Very moderate aroma, hints of malts, boiled vegetables, caramel and dust. The flavour has some malts and a little caramel sweetness, hints of boiled vegetables and baby porridge. Not much to write home about. *I've had the Danish version many, many times, both on tap and from bottle, mainly because it is better than the ordinary Tuborg Grøn or Carlsberg, and is available everywhere.

Feb. 2015: On tap at Billund Airport. Amber colour, moderate head, slightly off-white. Very moderate aroma, just a hint of berries and earthy hops. Tolerably decent flavour, not much of an IPA, but may pass as a pale ale. Moderate fruity and earthy hops, hints of toffee. Nice enough to drink.

1238 To Øl Yeastus Christus Denmark Saison 3.0

Feb. 2014: 330 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 7.4%. Slightly hazy deep golden colour, large white head. Aroma of brettanomyces, barnyard, dust and some spice. Moderate carbonation in the mouth. The flavour is not too sweet, but not dry either. Not sour (which I expected, as they have used brettanomyces lambicus). Yeasty notes, and a sharp hoppy bite in the finish and aftertaste. Not really great in my book, To Øl have better beers than this.
