Sep 9, 2006 A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is very sweet and very hoppy, but also with some grassy notes. The flavor is very hoppy combined with light notes of caramel, leading to a dry grassy end.

Mar 18, 2008 Bottled. Hazy pale bronze colour, average head. Striking aroma of lychee and bread. Massive amounts of hops supported by soft bready malt. Fresh and extrovert. Despite it’s perfect, shiny surface there is lots of structure underneath - which is what separates it from the pack of similar beers- Grapefruity resiny bitterness. A rarely seen combination of excellence both in mouthfeel and aroma!

May 10, 2006 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear amber with a handsome, creamy, off-white head. Marked citrusy nose - grapefruit and pine needles. Medium-bodied and extremely dry. Distinct hoppiness in the finish. 300406

Aug 5, 2006 Slightly hazy copper. Very fresh hop aroma - so fresh it defies analogy or interpretation. It just smells like hops. The flavour is moderately bitter, with toasty malts and woody hops that are far less pronounced than in the aroma. I definitely consider it a weakness if a beer has a serious disconnect between the aroma and the flavour, in particular when it comes to hoppiness. Dry-hopping the shit out of a beer that isn’t especially hoppy in the mouth as well just doesn’t impress me.

Mar 13, 2008 12 fl oz bottle, thanks to faeroeviking. Pours hazy orange with a lacing off-white head. Hoppy fruity to floral with a dense caramel malt base. Pine flavour, woody and dry. Caramel malt and a solid spiced hops flavour on top. Floral lingering finish.
