Draught (O’Connor’s, Uppsala) - Amber with a haze and a foamy head. Pineapple, passion fruit and grapefruit feature in the enticing and somewhat exotic and tropical aroma. Bitter, crisp and hoppy taste with notes of grapefruit, peach, nectarine, papaya and lychee. Incredibly exotic taste and really tasty. Goes down a treat.

A nice beer to discover. Color: copper with gold reflexion. Smell: hops and malt with a fresh atmosphere. Head: heavy big white head. Taste: hops and malt as a great blond beer. Aftertaste: hops and sugar.

33 cl bottle, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Medium gold, slightly hazy, with a massive white head. Thick and slightly syrupy, active carbonation, resin and sweet honey. Long finish, a bit waxy at the end.

Bottle 33cl at het Brouwcafe Scheveningen. Poors clear yellow with good white head. Aroma is grapefruit. Taste nice bitter, some fruits. Good drinkebale beer.

(bottle) pours a hazy deep amber colour with a billowing creamy off-white head. aroma of caramel and physalis, gooseberries, treebark and cherries, with some slightly obtrusive metallic notes. flavour is mostly bread crusts and roasted malts, with a faint hint of oranges, caramel and green leaves. medium-bodied with average carbonation and a slightly sweet finish.

Aroma of tropical fruits. Flavour of fruits and spices. Very nice IPA or blonde ale or whatever you’d call this.

Bottle from Deanso. Clear amber pour with white head. Aroma of grassy hops and fresh fruit. Grassy fruity flavor with toffee and bitter nettles coming after. Carbonation seemed a little high but still a nice ipa. Why is it called "blond"?...

[ASPETTO] ambra chiaro, aranciato, leggermente velata con un residuo nel fondo bottiglia [SCHIUMA] leggermente giallognola, abbondante, compatta e persistente [OLFATTO] malto, sentori fruttati che ricodano agrumi e frutta tropicale, leggere note alcoliche [GUSTO] inizio maltoso, con un tocco dolce; seguono sentori fruttati, leggermente aciduli, che ricordano ancora frutta tropicale ( mango, ananas) e sfumature agrumate che acquistano vigore nel finale quando subentra un amaro più intenso, che acquista note resinose ed erbacee . retrogusto amaro, leggermente speziato in cui si fa sentori anche l’alcol. [TEXTURE] corpo medio, morbida, carbonazione contenuta, alcohol percettibile [COMMENTO FINALE] a cavallo fra una pale ale ed una IPA, con influenze USA nei luppoli; una maltatura abbastanza consistente dona corpo e rotondità portandola appunto in territorio IPA. Le sfumature fruttate sono abbastanza avvertibili e decadono nel finale in toni più che altro vegetali, con un amaro netto, agrumato che viene tenuto a bada da una buona struttura dei malti e che evoluziona grazie ad una alcolicità stuzzicosa. buon livello, piacevole, ma nella media delle numerose offerte che inflazionano lo stile.

Bottle: Deep golden, almost clear, big and stable yellowish head, grapefruits and pineapples in the nose, a dash of toasted malt is detectable in the background; solid, not extremely dry bitter-sweet flavour, soft and medium bodied; lingering spicy grapefruity finish with some balancing malt. Fine stuff…

Draught, Bishop Folkis, US Pint. Orange amber with a soft haze and a short bubbly cream white head that leaves a nice lace. Aroma: Creamy with caramel, sweet tropical fruit (mango, peach, some pineapple and mandarine, sweet milk. Makes me think of Piggelin also (pear ice cream). Taste:Sweet, caramel, a bit ripened fruit (mango, passionfruit, orange, mandarine), some yeast. Tasty and fruity but where is the bitterness? Dry hopping gone weak?
