Amber color, hazy, good foam. Floral and hoppy taste, good bitterness, with a finish close to something like jasmine tea (!). A very good beer.

A corker of a beer. Big froth which keeps on keeping on. Orange and spice and malt and then a lovely surprise of floaters at the end. A beauty.

Bottled 28.08.12, drinking it at 10.10.12 Bottle from Ica Alta. Great smell of fruits, some caramel and yeast. Apperance is a Golden Orange, hazy. A fair share of bitterness in spite of the low abv, some sweetness as well. It has a great body, the texture is slick, average carbonation and bitter finish. One of the better sessionable low abv beers from Norway. Have another? Yes please.

500ml bottle, batch 443, hazy amber-orange hue, with a small bubbly white ring head, mild yeasty, fruity, toasted, biscuity, bready malt nose, with some light orange peel ,peach, marmalade esters, and with a soft floral leafy, fruity orange, tangerine, lemon peel, grassy accent, within a sublte orange lollipop note in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a nice fruity yeastiness, flowery orange, lemon peel citrusy, grassy, leafy, minty hop character with a caramel, biscuity, toasted malt, faint honeyish flavours, leading towards a yeasty, fruity, honeyed toasted, biscuity maltiness, lingering citrus orange, lemon peel, grassy, leafy hop bitterness finish.

Bottle: Poured a golden/orangey color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of hops with nice bitter edge mix in with some dry caramel malt. Taste is also dominated by bitter hops with light floral touch and some dry caramel malt that are quite solid for the style. Body is quite full with good carbonation. Good refreshing drink with enough hops punch to do the job.

Bouteille de 500ml. de la batch 443 brassée le 07.02.12 et meilleure avant le 21.02.13. Cette bière est dorée pâle avec une superbe couche de mousse blanche. Il y a une forte effervescence. Le nez semble vieillot avec des arômes de houblons, de vomi (malheureusement). La bouche est savonneuse, peu amère, légèrement sucrée. Il semble avoir une trace de contamination dans cette bière comme dans tout les produits de Haad, so far so haad.

Like many other pale ales, well-balanced bitterness, and it in an instant appeals to the nose with it’s fruity aroma. I can’t put my finger on what’s missing to make it a 5/5-beer, but it’s something...

Bottle 0.5l. Cloudy amber beer. Softish dry palate. Very frothy white head. A light malt base, slightly sweet with some caramel. Very bitter hops. Finishes frothy and dry.

Thick, fluffy off white head, golden body, Hoppy aroma of grass and pine needle. Taste of bitter fruit and some caramel. Crisp. Maybe too much carbonation for some.

Bought in Aarhus, pours a pretty golden colour with a small very airy head. Taste is light but decently bitter. Good summer beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
