An unclear orange beer with a small disappearing lazing head. The aroma is very slight, but what is there is of oranges. The flavor is sweet hoppy and malty with a hoppy dry end.

Bottled. Cloudy yellow. Appley, grassy aroma. Dry and clean. Hard mouthfeel, salty bitter finish. Less distinct than how I remembered it.

Bottled. Orange opaque colour with small white head. Sweet caramellish hopping along with a bit cartboard in aroma. Flavour is strong grassy hops along with some salty and even weaker caramellish hints in aftertaste. Quite good, but not that impressive. Very dry palate.
