33cl bottle from La Bonita Pinto in Barcelona. Pours a cloudy, golden-copper colored body with an inch thick, foamy and frothy, off-white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a soapy lacing. Aroma is oxidized caramels with some grass, a few fruit notes, and a touch of spice. Flavor is similar. Oxidized caramels with some toast, grass, a light spice, and some fruit. Finishes dry, papery, and bitter before leaving a fairly lengthy aftertaste. Light body and a lively, high carbonation. Overall, not the best bottle of this. Oxidized and over carbonated. Eh.

14/V/13 - 33cl bottle @ home - BB: 27/VII/13 (2013-470) Thanks to my nephew Thomas for the bottle!

Little cloudy amber beer, creamy white head, little stable, adhesive. Aroma: very fruity, lots of lychees, bubble gum, some sort of candy, I can’t remember which one, but it brings back some childhood memories. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty bitter, some citrus, that specific kind of candy, bit nutty, orange peel. Aftertaste: bitter, some citrus, grapefruit.

Pours a hazy pale golden color with a bubbly white foam. The nose is full of spicy malt, straw, citrus and a trace of sweet bubblegum. The palate is similar with a sweet bubblegum, earthy malt beginning that slides into a earthy bitter grassy like finish... complex little beer with a unique flavor profile thats worth trying !

Bottle at Pension Ondarra, San Sebastian. Nice bitterness, herbal bitterness, dry malty, light tea hoppy, forrest hops, light to medium malty, fruit y, light red berries.

0.33l bottle. This one pours a light caramel-blurry body with a small light bubbly off-white head. It smells light herbal and almost spicy-malty. Some floral tones and some sweet candy-like bubblegum hints. Quite alright. It has a really present bitterness! Hard for me to say what genre this could be. It’s also light tea-herbal and a bit spicy with tones of dried orange zest, but still it has a nice bitterness with a little bit of caramel sweetness. I enjoyed this creation, but I’m not sure what it was supposed to be. 09.08.2012

Nice bitter with an hoppy character. Amber body with a tall white head. Fruity and grassy aroma (resin, grapefruit and herbs).

Hazy gold beer, tidy white head. Dry palate. Mild citrus in a dry malt backdrop. Finishes dry with a quite a bitter aftertaste. Not bad for such a light beer.

33cl. bottle from a local beer retailer. It pours a hazy amber liquid with a medium-high quite consistent white-beige head that lasts throughout the beer and leaves some good lacing. The aroma is very nice, with an obvious hoppy aroma, with hints of mild pine and herbs, and also some malty and fruity notes of caramel and citron (orange, lime and grapefruit). It tastes likewise, with the right amount of each note, intensely flavoured for such a low alcoholic content. It is medium sweet, low-medium sour and rather bitter, though not extreme (APA-like). Very balanced. In the mouth it feels mild but lively carbonated, tiny bubbled, thick, with a medium body and a rather dry short finish, with an aftertaste of pine and citron mostly that does not last long. Presentation is nice (it lacks a customized crown cap, though) but not very attractive for a nicely balanced and well done brew. It is surprising the intensity with the low ABV (3.9% in my bottle).

UPDATED: MAY 13, 2011 SCHIUMA: bianca, media presenza, fine ma non molto durevole COLORE: oro carico con riflessi aranciati, velata INTENSITA’ / FINEZZA / AROMA profuma di luppolo, con sentori vegetali ed un leggero agrumato. Un leggero apporto dei malto e una punta di lieviti GUSTO / RETROGUSTO / PERSISTENZA dominato dai luppoli, con toni più che altro vegetali, erbacei con un leggero fondo citrico sfuggente a cui partecipano anche i lieviti. Per i malti c’e’ poco spazio. Sul finale si rafforza ulteriormente l’amaro mantenendo però gli stessi toni . CORPO / CARBONATAZIONE / CONSISTENZA carbonatazione medio alta, corpo medio basso, sensazione acquosa -Nel complesso è un prodotto gradevole e dissetante; entrando nel merito delle varie sfumature, se da un lato risulta chiaro l’apporto di luppoli in stile americano, dall’altro lo stesso rimane un po’ bloccato su toni erbacei, mostrando un dinamismo di aromi e sapori limitato rispetto ad una classica pale ale d’oltre oceano. Soffre di una carbonatazione eccessiva ed una sostanziale assenza dei malti che avrebbero potuto dare un po’ più di corpo e controbilanciare attivamente il luppolo.

Saboreada el 9 Abr/11 en un copa Pilsen (Alhambra). Color ambarino claro amarillento. Turbia, sin filtrar, ni pateurizar. Cubierta de una fina capa, túpida, de burbuja pequeña. Espuma fugaz y casi sin encaje. Aromas a lúpulo y cítricos. Seco amargor en los labios. Cuerpo medio ligero y agradable amargor en toda la boca. Retrogusto suave con notas florales y de limón. Bebible aunque la alta carbonatación la hace resultar un poco molesta.Enjoyed on 04/09/11 in a Pilsen Glass. Yellowish light amber color. Cloudy, unfiltered, non-pasteurized. Headed with a thin layer, dense, small bubbles. Brief & almost non lacing foam. Hoppy & citrics aromas. Dry bitterness on lips. Light-Medium body & gentle bitterness all around. Smooth aftertaste, lemony & floral notes. Drinkable, but high carbonation makes it a litle bothering.
