(33cl bottle) Enormous rocky white head atop hazy straw body. Aroma is moderately sweet, fruit (orange, some apple, banana), bubblegum, some bready yeast, clove. Taste is moderately sweet, lemon/orange, pastry/grain, light clove. Alcohol presence detected but not distracting. Medium-full body, some stickiness.

Pours a beautiful, vibrant golden colour. The head is incredible, erupts like a beer volcano. Lots of citrusy chracter, and overflowing carbonation. sweet, floral and yeasty in the finish. Plenty of bubbles that stick around for a while.

Bottle sampled. Pours golden with a with a good size white head. Aroma of citrus, fruit, alcohol, and floral hops. The flavor is citrus, fruit, alcohol, yeast, and a mild floral bitter finish.

Bottled. Golden colour with huge fluffy head. Aroma is grains, flowery hops, some yeasty notes as well as fruits. Flavour is rather fruity with some earth and yeast mixed in. As it gets warmer it gets some sweetness added to the flavour. Alcohol is very hidden in this.

I liked this, on tap, but I am not sure it was worth the pricetag. I could taste the complexness of the malt, but I couldnt really say what made it different. Finished surprisingly dry for the style. I am glad I tried it but there are better things out there.
