Bottle 0,5l. Golden brown colored. A rapidly disappearing fluffy head. Sweet fruity aroma. Flavor with hints of orange. Some bitterness in the finish. A bit one dimensional.

draft. Citrus grassy hops on the nose with fresh cut apples. Pours pale blonde with a white head that last some time. Sweet bready malts up front followed by an earthy bitterness, with a slight resin flavor in the finish. It finishes dry and crisp. A pretty good ESB all in all, good session beer.

Bottle... Poured copper, orange with a real thin white head that diminished immediately. Floral aroma with some spicy hops and buttery, malt grains. Leafy, herbal hops lend towards a warm malt balance. Alright flavor, would make a good session ale but it’s a little over priced for that.

Bottle, bought @ Vinspecialisten, Kolding Storcenter.
Pours amber with a small, creamy, white head. Aroma er mild caramel, a bit of fruitiness and good grassy and flowery hoppiness. Low carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Flavour is mild, some good peachy fruitiness and a mild chocolate and hoppy bitter finish. Quite alright.

Bottled. Clean, light orange. Thin but creamy head is white. Ok lacing. Aroma is malty, a bit fruity (grape, orange) and has also some berries in the finish. Caramel malts and medium hops in the finish. Flavor is sweetish caramel and in the finish softly bitter. Dries up towards the finish. Quite smoot texture but stil a bit too carbonated and foaming. Medium bodied. Easy to drink.

Pours dark orange color with nice layer of froathy bubbly head. Aroma is weak - a bit sweet grass and floral. Flavor is light, thin and watery but with some sweet maltiness and a bitter dry hop finish, though very very mild. Overall, ok for hot day, but overall, nothing special.

Bottle. Pours a largish head, which slowly deflates, no lacing, mild slightly hoppy nose, initial taste sweetish, later pleasant hop bitterness. Not much to it.
