3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/2033 cl bottle. Pours noce golden orange with a small white bubbly head, no real retention. The nose is very pleasant. Dominated by tropical fruitiness from the hops, mango, pineapple, sweet red apples. Not really piney or grassy, but very focused on the hop profile. A tad of impressions of the malts, mainly bread and cereal notes. The taste is also very nice, and very similar to the aroma. A good deal of bitterness comes through in the end, but is backed up by the general hoppy impression, which on the sweet and tropical fruit side of the spectrum. I really enjoy the over all impression of this beer. Very tasty and well balanced, and the hop profile is very focused and well made. Good effort.

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.
