Commercial Description:
"A super surprise, with a good aroma of oranges and alcohol, and light notes of hops. A fantastic body and flavor - the flavor contains notes of oranges, wood, alcohol, and hops. - Jens Ungstrup in Ølentusiasten"

Nice clear orange color and a bubbling baige head. Aroma is mainly fresh cascade hobs with some minor notes of oranges. Given i had a cold at the time, the body was abit thin for a Barley, overall the flavor is very refreshing though, again mainly bitter hobs with a small toffee sweetness. All in all i cant help liking this one.
