An orange beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma is sweet caramelic with light alcohol notes. The flavor is sweet caramelic with light hop notes, giving it a dry end.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear amber with a creamy, off-white head. Vaguely floral aroma. Medium-bodied, some light caramel with a hoppiness that gradually builds up. Decent, if not exactly thrilling APA. 100506

12 fl oz bottle. Pours cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma is mild hoppy and vague caramelish malt. Mild caramelish roasted malt base with a light dry bitterness to it. Medium dry finish.

Bottled. Amber colour, small white head. Aroma is vegetables and hops. Flavour the same. Very watery and boring.

Bottled. Orange to amber in colour, not much of a head. Obvious grapefruity hop aroma. Light bodied with sparkling light mouthfeel and a pleasant, really hoppy, bitter finish.

Bottle at Stockholm Beerfestival. Clear golden coloured with a white head. Aroma of malts, caramel and fruits. Flavour of caramel, fruits, grape fruits and hops.

Beautiful amber color; generous head; nice lace. Aroma of hops and white sugars. Ordinary malt and caramel flavor, ordinary bitterness. Simple.

(Bottle) Pours a clear orange body with a moderate off-white head. Aroma of caramel and citrus. Flavor of mild hops and caramel malt with a dry, bitter finish. Thanks for sharing Paul!

On tap at Pilsner Room, Portland. Copper with lasting beige head. Hop is subtle on aroma. In fact all the flavours are quite subtle. Not dull, just has not got a lot. Some malt, touch of caramel, some hop. Fine if not exciting.
