Tap. Pours a light golden yellow with a fine head. Aroma is woody and sweet. Flavour has some pine and a caramel sweetness - it seems a touch unbalanced.

Københavnske Øldage 07. Warm golden, slightly hazy. The aroma is pleasantly sweetish and nicely hopped and the flavour has a nice, slightly sweet caramel and fruity foundation witn piny notes. The body is smooth and pleasant and the finish is dry and hoppy. 2087

Yellow with a small white head. Hoppy aroma and hop-dominated bitter flavour.

UPDATED: MAY 11, 2010 Draught at Charlie’s. Huge head with excellent duration. Hazy golden color. powerful aroma with lots of hops and fruit! Taste is likewise. Rerated as sample at Copenhagen beerfestival. Nice head with good duration. Color is folden. Aroma and taste are rich hops, elderflowers, citrus and malt.

Draught at Charlies. Creamy white excellent fully lasting head. Yellow colour. Very powerfull and flowery hoppy aroma. Nice strong flowery flavor (please try to say this) Oily palate.

UPDATED: JAN 30, 2008 Just had it again. Very fresh, crisp and hoppy. Loads of citrus, pine and flowers. Is a better beer than I remembered. Draught @ Fynske Øldage: Orange coloured. Unclear. Dense off white head. Sweet, flowery and hoppy aroma. Flavour is herbal and hoppy. Sweet and fruity and quite fresh. Is well bodied. Nice bitter in the end. Refreshing and dry. good one. Was told by the tender, that it was Brooklyns Douple IPA, which sounds right.

Bottle… First Annual Treasure Coast Beer Festival 2008… Hazy, light golden ale with a large, creamy, white head. Excellent retention. Citrusy, peppery, perfumy hop aroma with a rumor of dry leather. Medium-bodied and caustic with modest carbonation. Mostly bitter, perfumy and fruity flavor. Crisp, dry finish.

Draft at the Dilly Deli. Poured cloudy copper with an average frothy off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate complex citrus hop and sweet malt aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium balanced bittersweet flavor with a medium bitter finish of long duration. This is a standout beer.

A Mes rate: Gravicask at GBBF.
Darkish gold colour with not much happening in the head department. Decent hoppy fayre but a little too sweet for my liking. Fairly clear alcohol and I’m not overly keen on the malt. Nice lingering bitter finish though.
