Bottle, shared w. Tim. Clear gold, white head. Nose is floral & grassy hops, a really nice hay-like malt, sweet lemongrass. Flavor is beautiful floral & grassy hops, hay, grass, long light malt finish. Incredibly well done.

UPDATED: OCT 12, 2008 Bottle - Beautiful clear golden body with a fine white head; Beautiful big elegant earth hoppy nose, fine malt notes; Very good and interesting body, very bitter from both malt and hop, barrel like harshness is present and fitting, it is a very little to watery though; The finish is a little to watery as well, hop and malt bitter, lots of earth hop aroma that lasts very long. Very very good beer, very interesting, very pleasant, complex and new (to me at least)

0,33 l bottle. It is a very deliciuos beer. Cloudy golden body whit a nice white head. Complex aroma of hop resin with wild fruits. The taste is all about the hops, resin with a hint of caramel, some fruity notes. Fine aftertaste of hop.

raw hop skunk and sweat bread. Flavor is fructose and dry hop that compliments nicely. Smooth and ballanced. Slight harshness to the overall flavor mostliky from the cask... Ballances out the sweetness.

11.2oz Bottle, O.G. 1.038, F.G. 1.009, 4.42% ABV, Hops: Sladek, 32IBUs, EBC 291, Batch 695 - Wonderful floral hop aroma. Citrusy and flowery at the same time. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with moderate head. Flavor is very hoppy. I enjoy the flavor. Its all hops with only a hint of malt as the aftertaste of hops starts to fade. Not overly bitter at all, bitterness was reduced in favor of flavor. Body seems thinner than it really is due to the amount of flavor hops and hop oils. I really like this beer. This is a really nice session beer and I could see myself drinking lots of it with a smile on my face.

Not quite sure how this is a bitter. It is crisp and refreshing and rediculously smooth. Great brew, well crafted and just a nice drink. Malts are pure, hops are mild and true. Great brew.

eboats (1067) - Omaha, Nebraska, USA - AUG 2, 2011
Pours honey colored with a white head. Aroma is fantastic. Orange and lemon jump out and punch me in the face. Flavor is slightly sour, mildly sweet, and no bitterness. Very impressive.

Bov (7354) - Bienne, SWITZERLAND - FEB 4, 2010
courtesy of Antonio Ruiz - cloudy orange colour with a poor white foam left; robust fruity hoppiness (citrus and grapefruit) with yeasty tones; effervescent and medium-bodied, slightly acidic and with a pronounced bitterness; long yeasty and fruity (orange peels dominate) finish - very drinkable

330 from Holiday Wine. Enjoying this in my little DeMolen snifter which was a freebie from De Bierkoning, because I immolated my credit card there. Pours orange tinged gold with a coarsley foamy white head. Aroma is fruity/floral hop!!!! Amazing. Medium + body with foamy carbonation. Flavor is floral over English biscuit. I think I died and have awoken in the UK. Like it’s even low ABV. Relatively. So bitter? The local weinies would likely append "strong ale". But the rude colonists know that it’s weak. BUT EXTREMELY TASTY!!!!!

Bottled. Had this one after 40km mountainbiking, probably anything would taste great :-) But this sure is a nice one. Strong flowery hoppy aroma. Hazy, yellow-orange coloured with ugly brown yeast particles. I probably should have been more carefull with the bottle when pouring it in the glass. I was too eager. Taste is quite bitter, a bit sweet, some grapefruit in it and very flowery hoppy. Quite strong on the good quality british hops. Very pure, clean taste. Fantastic!
