Clear bright golden pour with a huge rocky white head. Well-carbonated. Light fruits, floral hops, and pilsner malt were prevalent in the aroma, and blended very well together. Crisp and very clean on the palate. Floral hops blended will with the pils malt for the flavor. Very refreshing and expertly crafted!

One of my favourite beers. I do admire the brewers creating beers with fulle flavors and low ABV’s. This one is all citric hops and i love it!

Thanks to OSLO for sharing. This was stellar. Smooth lager yeast and malts on the aroma with the subtlest floral hints. A very hazy yellow body with wisps of white head. The body followed similar patterns but with a hop flavor not present earlier. A smooth malty finish with a bit of candy sugar.

Flaske. Det var med en bekymret mine jeg åbnede 2 af denne øl, da jeg lige havde fået en besked om at der var problemer med dette batch. Heldigvis var begge øl i tip top stand. Lækker og frisk med den rigtige balance imellem bitterhed og friskheh. En anelse blomster men ellers primært citrus. Genopvækkede virkelig min kærlighed til en pilsner.

[Bottle purchased in Perth, Australia] Pours pale golden with a small off-white head. Aroma is very fruity with a lot of peach, some pineapple and notes of kiwi. Taste has the same fruit profiles, with the perfect amount of bitterness and a crackery malt backbone that balances it well. Medium-thin mouthfeel, smooth, and has a dry finish. From now on, probably will be what I think of when I hear the term session beer. Just all around a great beer and exceeded my expectations.

Bottle 50 cl. thin yellow cloudy body with a huge white fluffy lasting head. The nose is rather piney with notes of mustard-seeds, freah figs and peaches. The taste is huge when thinking this is a pilsner. I taste melons, lots of fresh hops the contributes with great sweet bitterness, there is some coriander and pinecones, vanilla and pineapple. Very balanced. Has a high carbonation that gives a fizzy and nice palate and smooth mouthfeel. Great pilsner... and then it is organic.. thumps up.

UPDATED: NOV 17, 2010 From a 330ml bottle on 17/11/2010. Has a distinct floral, bready, fruity (particularly passionfruit) aroma. Has an unbelievable amount of flavour for a pilsener, dominated by citrus fruits, more passionfruit, honey and spices. Finishes with a good dash of bitterness. Exceptionally good.

500ml bottle. Pours clear straw colour with excellent white head. Aroma is full of fresh life and is dominated by freshly cut grass fileds and hay, sweet hop citrus. Very inviting beer! Flavour is crisp and clean: bread flavoured malt and grassy hop tones mix superbly on a medium to light palate. Good bitter finish that invites the next sip almost immediately, which is a good indication that it is an excellent beer.

500mL bottle. Aromas of lemongrass, grapefruit, passionfruit, coriander and hops. A pale yellow and green colour with a thin white head and great lacing. Beautiful, complex flavours of grassy hops and fruit such as pear and grapefruit with a honey sweetness and floral tones. A dry finish with malt. Crisp and clean on the palate, with absolutely perfect carbonation! Amazing!

I originally tried this about a year ago whilst in New Zealand. I was love at first site. It took me a while to track it down but eventually got there...my memory stayed true. Looks great, taste great. The carbonation is perfect also.
