Kosmokrator (289) - - JAN 8, 2013
Limpido biondo intenso con un bel cappello di schiuma bianca. Aroma erbaceo, delicatamente fruttato, luppolato e maltoso; gusto inizialmente dolciastro con una leggera nota di caramello che evolve verso un fantastico finale ricco di erbe e luppoli a 360°. Corpo medio-lieve, carbonazione vivace e struttura setosa; una ale "semplice" ma favolosamente bilanciata e profumata!

zenkis (244) - Ogre, LATVIA - DEC 15, 2012
Pours hazy light orange with rocky white-off cap. Aroma of super fresh wild hops, very lively - seems like dryhopped with fresh hops. Taste the same - fresh hoppy mild malt sweetness with sour touches - but not like defect, for first time to me sour is an effect in beer. Pleasant surprise! Low dry finish, medium body. Interesting one.
