Draught @ Zythos 2009. A hazy yellow, colored beer, with a white head. The aroma op hops, fruits like citrus and malts. A bit spicey and grassy. The taste of hop bitter, with fruits like citrus and orange. Some spices in the back. The aftertaste is gentle bitter.

CBF 2012: Orange coloured and unclear. Has a white head, medium duration. Aroma has faint spicy notes, and yeasty notes too. Flavor is moderate sweet, finish heavy bitter. Light acid too. Creamy, dry texture.

draft at Den Tatoverede Enke in Copenhagen. the first glass was in poor shape, but easily replaced by the staff (acidic and buttery diacetyl, perfume, spice, wood, nuts) after switching the keg, the second glass has a peppery, spicy, dry hppped pungent noble hop cone nose with floral peach fuzz and dandelion esters. creamy and soft texture with prickly and spicy metallic phenol and dried hop cones, and a small amount of crushed egg shell yeast powder character. finish of bubble gum and sugared dried pineapple, and the metal note fades as it opens.

330ml bottle. Pours a cloudy, pale gold, with a white head. Very hoppy aroma, lots of fruit, grapefruit peel, spruce, mangoes, pineapple, malt, caramel. Off-dry, medium body, medium to high bitterness, balanced CO2. Spicy, hoppy taste, orange peel, spruce, pineapple, herbs, malt, yeast. (2012-02-28)

Tap at DØE. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma and flavour of spice, hops, caramel and malt.

Thanks to Jeff for the share. Muddy gold pour with a giant white head and drippy lace. Probably way too carbonated. Aroma yield notes of bubble gum, spice, citric hops and caramel. Light belgian yeast character and subdued tropical fruit.

Bottle courtesy of the exceedingly good looking Dany in exchange for having some beer shipped to me and carting it up to see him at TAPNY. Pours a rather hazy browned golden amber with a large white head. Sweet and musky on the nose, some light floral hints with some fruit. Medium bodied, light sweetness, musky malt, toast and a fruity and floral sweetness. Light bitterness and some warmth on the finish. A touch of oxidization as well.

330ml Bottle - Golden with a white head. Grapefruit, tea and pineapple in the aroma. Hoppy taste with notes of grapefruit, pineapple and passion fruit. Crisp, bitter and very enjoyable.

Nice white head, lasting, good lace. Hazy gold hued brew. Nose is cute, spicey, lemony, citrusy, lightly floral. Light bodied with a soft carbonation, lil oily. Nice fruity, citrusy flavors, light dry pale malts along with some doughy notes. Finish is short and almost dry, citrusy. A nice little quaffer. Enjoyed on draft @statelineliquors.

330 ml bottle at Delrium Cafe. Pours a murky yellow/orange with a light head. Nose is hops/citrus. Taste is grapefruit, though some sweetness to balance the bitter hops.
