Nice aroma of floral, fruity and resinous hops. Cloudy amber pour with a medium offwhite head. Flavor of floral, resinous, fruity hops with toasted malt. The body is strudy enough to hide the alcohol, it felt more like an IPA than an Imperial IPA in that sense.

11.2oz bottle. Poured a hazy amber color with a larger sized off white head. Aromas of fruitiness, toasted caramel, and some citrus rinds. Tastes of caramel, toast, some lighter earth, fruity, and citrus. Alcohol well hidden with a thinner body.

Bottle. A hazy amber beer with a big off-white head. The aroma and taste is dusty and of fruits, citrus, peach, hops. Light alcoholic. Medium body with a dry dusty, light alcoholic finish.

Medium offwhite head. Hazy reddish amber body with light carbonation. Powerful mango hop aroma with metallic notes. Dry-sweet wooden mango and pepper taste with metallic notes. Fullish body, sharpish mouthfeel. Dry peppery mango aftertaste. Very nice and drinkable. (0.75l bottle, Ølbutikken, København.)

NIce murky orange/yellow beer with a fluffy yet plungy head that stays for quiet some time... contains some sediment... Aroma has some fruit (apple/citrus), lots of yeast, some hop, hints of malt... Taste is bitter, gets more sour/sweet after a while...hops are apparent.... finish intensly bitte, but much too short... I’ts a nice raw beer, but lacks body

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a hazy amber golden with a creamy off-white head. Distinct peachy Amarillo aroma. Quite full-bodied with fat caramel notes, yeasty and spicy - resin and pine. Some fruit also. Dry and lightly astringent finish. 110708

750ml bottle, big explosion upon opening, cork hiting the ceiling, hazy amber hue, with a frothy white head, nice floral hop, fruity citrusy, piney, grassy nose with some mild honeyed toasted, caramel cereal malt notes, with some faint orange, tangerine peel esters in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a warmth, yeasty, fruity marmalade, candied orange, lemon peel character with some flowery citrusy, leafy, resinous, grassy flavours upfront, with some honeyed grainy toasted, caramelized, biscuity malt undertone notes, with a hint of spiciness, leading towards a warming, yeastiness, fruity, lingering grassy, leafy hop bitterness finish.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a big, fluffy and creamy beige head. Great lacing. Tart, yet somehow soft aroma; a lot like yoghurt. Notes of hops, malt and yeast in the background. As it warms, the yoghurt-thing diminishes, giving way for the other notes, which is a good thing. Sweetish and tart, fruity and malty flavour with pine hops in the background; the latter coming more out as it warms. Fruity finish with liquorice notes. Dry and a bit of hops. Lingering liquorice-like bitterness. Overall, the yoghurt aroma put me a bit off, but fortunately it diminished, adding an extra point to the aroma score. Could do with a lot more hops, in both aroma and flavour though.11-12-09.

Cloudy orange colour with a white head. Hoppy fruity and light piney aroma with notes of some caramel sweetness. Hoppy piney and quite bitter flavor with malty sweet notes.
