Slightly hazy yellow with a small white head. Hoppy aroma with citrus, pine and green tobacco leaves. Dry and fruity flavour with tangerine notes and a good bitterness

(Draught) Pours pale golden. The aroma is floral, woodsy, citric and fruity. The flavour is light sweet, medium to heavily bitter and light to medium acidic. Citric/grapefruity, light floral and resinous. Hints of fruit. The mouthfeel is clean and astringent (from the hops) with a soft and smooth carbonation. Light to medium bodied.

Draught at Ølbaren, Copenhagen
Hazy blond color; generous creamy head; they really know how to serve the beers here (5 on 5 today are perfect).
The aroma is very nice, and quite original; well hopped, of course; the hop is mainly citrusy, with plenty of aromas from hilly forests, elderflowers, acacia flowers (robinia in Italy), sap of freshly cut wood.
Agile body, toffee and dry malt flavor, with hints of crispness; dry, no sweetness left; quite strong but not excessive hopping, with a lot of resins and hop oils, very citrusy, some grapefruit, with a touch of elderflower.
Pleasantly bitter, aromatic and long final.
Very fresh impression from this brew, also for the relatively low alcohol; winner of the Spring!

Draught @ Pannuhuone, Kuopio.
Pours a hazy golden colour with a small lacy head. Lovely Citra notes on the nose with some flowers. Flavour of crispy hops, caramel, pine needles and some malty tones. Medium bodied with a slick mouthfeel with a fruity, bitter finish. Tasty.

Tap Football Pub. Mostly clear light yellow hue, thin white head. Lots of ammonia-like aromas with the citric lemon. Some graininess in the finish, but the citra hop does dominate...citricy and lemon drive through. Softer body and carbonation. Some light sweetness to balance. Not bad, but would’ve liked it cleaned up a bit in the finish. Still interesting enough.

Sampled @ Copenhagen Beer Festival 2010. Almost clear, dark golden body with a dense, creamy off-white head. Refreshing citric aroma. Flavor is citric fruity with peaches and a good caramel malt base, bittersweet with a long aftertaste.

Draught. Cloudy amber color, tight off-white head. Hoppy aroma. Hoppy flavor with good balance and a hint of grapefruit, fairly dry finish. Creamy mouthfeel. Pretty good IPA.
