Bottle, 355 ml. A bit hazy with a pale amber colour and a white head. Aroma is refreshing and flowery with citrus and some caramel. Flavour is very much about the hops with notes of citrus and some malty caramel in the background. Good amount of bitterness. Finish is citrus with some bitterness. At $2,70 (16.40 Swedish kronor) a bottle this is a great QPR!

Bottle. Aroma: hoppy, citrus, bread. Appearance: golden, amber, slightly yellowish 2 finger frothy head; hazy body. Flavour: lightly bitter, mostly smooth and balanced. Palate: medium body with, oily feel, sticky on the lips (or my dry mouth?), average tang of carbonation, bitter slightly drawn out finish.

Taste7/8, bottle(8HY?). Looks: Gold/copper body with a nice lacing head. Aroma: Citrus hops fading to a nice malt caramel. Taste: Medium bodied with a very even hops and malt mix. Not too hoppy, not too sweet or sour yeast. Nice brew. I avoided this brew and have missed out. Even and well made.

Hazy golden orange with a generous head and ok lacing. Citrus hops on the nose. Biscuit flavors offset the hops on the tongue, resulting in a very well balanced beer. Smooth creamy mouthfeel, good carbonation, and the balance remained in the aftertaste. This is a beer everyone could like.

Poured from the bottle, good head and hazy body. Great balance of the malt and nice hop aromas. Good balance of flavours in the nouth and a nice mouthfeel that lingered just long enough. Was looking forward to trying this beer for a long time and did not dissapoint on a rare sunny afternoon in Dublin, Thanks Anchor...

On tap at SFO anchor steam restaurant. Hazy golden with minimal head. Aroma of floral hops. Flavor of fruit with hop finish. Very enjoyable beer.
