3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20Grifo.Vaso de Pinta.Saboreada en ene´12. Apariencia discreta, tránslucida y de color dorado brillante, coronada por una capa marfil, copiosa y de aspecto cremoso. Sin embargo, oculta un gran potencial de sabores y aromas.En nariz, intenso aroma de pino, sutil tono herbáceo y notas cítricas de variedades de lúpulo americano. En boca, entrada de lígero malteado seguida de suave y agradable amargor. Un despliegue de esteres afrutados con matices tropicales y albaricoques maduros libera un subyacente dulzor. Cuerpo medio y carbonatación moderada. El lúpulo genera un amargor envolvente, limpio, de intensidad media pero contundente, que permanece hasta el final resinoso y seco. El retrogusto afrutado deja una refrescante sensación. Una excelente representante del Estilo APA con muy buen equilibrio de aromas y sabores plenos. On-tap.Pint glass.Enjoyed on jan´12.Bright gold color.Foggy.Ivory froth.Copious creamy crown.Discreet appearance, nevertheless, it conceals a great potential of flavors and aromas. In nose, intense piney aroma, subtle herbaceous tone and citric notes from American hops. In mouth, slightly malt flavor followed by soft and gentle bitterness. A deployment of cover fruity -tropical fruits and ripe apricots- liberates an underlying sweetness. Medium body,moderate carbonation. Hops generate an encircling, clean bitterness, moderate intensity but heavy flavor, which remains until the dry & resiny finish. Fruity aftertaste leaves a refreshing sensation. An excellent spot of the APA Style APA with very good balanced aromas and full flavors.

8th July 2012
Very hazy amber beer, little off white head. Crispy palate. Sharp minerals. Fairly grainy pale malt but fresh and not at all cloying. Minerally mild orange peel hops provide some balance. Crisp finish with orange peel bitterness and a little malt cream. Refreshing.

Bottle: Thanks Papsø:
Bigger sized, vast and thick, slowly changing creamy head on top of a hazy orange colored beer.
Aroma reminds me of a lot of different floral tones like hops, grass and flowers, some citrus, mango, peach and pine apple and sprinkles of vanilla and honey.
Flavour is refreshing and crispy with a light chalky touch to it. There are lots of floral bitters and floral hop tones again, light fruity, a hint of something flowers, light creamy hints herbs and a sprinkle of vanilla (like in the aroma).
It’s quite spicy for 5,5%ABV.
Aftertaste is good bitter with some hints of hops, floral tones, plants, light malty and grass wrapped in a bitter jacket.
Low to medium carbo, soft light creamy mouthfeel, medium to lightly fuller body and a creamy texture.
Thought by the smell of this beer it was a bit old, but the taste is crispy hop and light fruity with a clean and strong bitterness. Decent beer for sure.
