Smooth and fruity to a light bitterness in the flavour. Dry apricot note and dry yet also fruity hoppy flavoured. Hoppy and dry malty into the finish. Smooth.

<i>Tasting at Papsoe</i>
Hazy golden color; big head. The strong hop aroma is resiny and a bit fruity, piney. Good toffee flavor, dry mouthfeel, because of an extreme hopping, very resiny and piney. Very good.

Clear golden with a medium off white head. Loads of hops in the nose along with grapefruits and malty hints. Massive amount of hops in the flavour with notes of grapefruit, lemon, pine and hints of pale malt. Finished very bitter and dry. Nice.

Orangey-amber colour. Mango, simcoe nose with yuzu and chewy malts. Strong, but with a sweet hop fruitiness. Very bright. Lots of citrus and tropical fruit flavours. Very bitter finish with woody hints of alcohol and light crystal malt chewiness. Suprisingly did not leave any lace on my glass.

(Bottle) Pours a clear orange body with a medium-sized creamy off-white head and nice lacing. Aroma of passion fruit, pineapple, lemon, orange, and mango. Flavor of caramel, mango, and citrusy hops with a bitter finish.
