Copenhagen 24/5. 2017. 35,5 cl bottle from Brønshøj Vinhandel. Lumberjack with a mug of beer on the label.
Pours hazy golden yellow with white head. No Lacing.
Strong aroma of Juniper with weak notes of citrus. Vegetables with herbal bitterness.
Soft carbonation and slightly thick texture.
Flavor is medium sweet followed by herbal bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter.
Reminds me of a more sweet version of some of the New Nordic Beers where they put herbs from half a Plantation into the boilers. Not my favorite Rogue.

Yellow liquid with a hint of orange; murky.
Nice white head; nice, if spotty, lacing.
Slight hops, slight lager in the nose. Not much to smell.
Thin mouthfeel.
Basically tastes like a macro lager, but slightly better. Not tasting juniper berries here. Disappointing.

From notes taken 03/28/16:
Mostly clear light orange amber body, but full of minute suspended flakes. Foamy eggshell white head of moderate retention. Strong honey, resin, crackers, tea, esters on the nose, nothing to suggest juniper. Semi-tart throughout, a little papery, pine/juniper like hops, vegetal, almost rindy bitterness. A little more juniper in the aftertaste. Medium-bodied, medium carbonation with sparse prickles and abundant suds.
