Multiple bottles in the past from Brewdog online. It pours pale yellow, with a thin white head. The nose is sweet malt, sweet citrus and grass. The taste is grass, sweet malt, butter, some floral and distant citrus, with a big bitter finish. Medium body and moderate-high, fizzy carbonation. Not my sort of thing.

Bottle @ Henrik, Bergen. Pours golden with good white head. A crisp and hoppy flavour with some citric and tropical tastes. A bitter and clear flavor and finish.

10 raw, and too sticky.

Bottled 0.33L at Ahven. Hoppy flowery nose. Pale head. Coppery colour. Syropy roasty and malty slightly fruity taste. Average hoppiness.

330ml bottle, bit out of date 24/07/09, dang. Pours a clean golden body with short-lived white head. Pleasant aroma of honeyed malts, dried apricot, and faint ripe melon and citrus hops. Quite full bodied, carbonation is subdued for a lager, clean texture. Grainy malt on the body, honey and light biscuity sweetness. Bit of lemony and stonefruit fruit hop flavour, slight grassiness on a moderately bitter finish with a lingering husky dryness. Pretty good lager, despite the age. Nicely flavoured and goes down smoothly.

Bottle - Crystal clear golden with thin white head. Sharp citric aroma with a hint of peaches and prunes, also get awet hay aroma. Raisin and hop flavour, soft bitterness and a lingering dried fruit finish. Light bodied and smooth, very nice!

330 ml bottle@Olympen, Oslo. Thin white head. Brilliant copper brown color. Aroma is dry and quite sharp metallic, faint malty, with a modest fruity and hayish hop presence. Light malt body, kind of sharp, or maybe tight. Earthy hop bitterness. Light-bodied and almost watery in the mouth. Bitterish finish with a certain crispness. Not very exciting.

330 ml bottle, at Olympen, Oslo. ABV is 5.5%. Deep golden colour, moderate head. Very nice aroma of hops and caramel, hints of butterscotch. Fairly sweet, malty and fruity flavour, hints of toffee and butterscotch.
