light unclear medium orange yellow color with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is light moderate malty, moderate to heavy hoppy, orange - citrus, grapefruit - pine, mandarin, strange fruity hops. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20110115]

Bottled. A dark golden beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of yest, hops, and citrus fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, malt, yeast, and citrus fruits, leading to a bitter finish.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Pours a clear golden with a lively off-white head. Sweet fruit, hops and a little phenols in the nose - or is it just the Nelson Sauvin that comes out this way? Fairly light in body, again slightly phenollic, a little caramel and a dry finish. Not the best take on a Pale Ale really. 140212

From tap at SF Beer Week Celebrator Beer News Anniversary Party. Pours hazy yellow with a small white head, lasting with a nice lacing. Smooth hoppy aroma, Nelson Sauvin shines through. Smooth and fruity hops flavoure - very elegant. Dry finish. Nice one. Lovely. Easy.

Bottled (from bierzwerg.de). Hazy orangeish golden colour, mediumsized white foamy longslasting head that leaves some lace. Aroma is rather fruity, grassy and quite sweet maltyness. Flavour is quite sweet fruity and floral notes along with caramel malts, some slight bready notes. Quite pleasantly balanced.

Bottle at Papsø. Clear golden coloured with a small white head. Sweet and fruity aroma of caramel and hops. Fruity flavour of hops and grass with notes of caramel. Hoppy finish.

Bottle, 5.9%. Nice and refreshing hop aroma, grassy, piney and slightly caramelly. Cloudy dark golden colour. Big stable white head. The flavour is also refreshing, has a good clean bitterness. Grassy and piney hop flavour, but less caramelly than the aroma and most other APAs. Also some fruit from the hop, mango and other subtle notes. Flavourful but well-balanced.
