On tap at Lord Nelson. Hazy amber color, white head. Aroma is hoppy. Flavor is hoppy and fruity. Very drinkable.

The ale pours a vibrant reddish gold with a coarse white head. The nose is spicy, floral and slighty citric with a deep base of caramel and bisquit. Upon tasting, the lightly roasted malts join with a notable hop presence. At first, moderately sweet, medium body and well-carbonated. Then transitioning toward a nice balanced hoppiness toward the end.

0.5L bottle, shared with my brother who brought it from the source, thanks! Hazy orange colour, nice creamy head. Perfumed aroma of orange, roses and some honey wax and flowery notes in the back. Good strong bitterness with just a little toasty notes in the back, medium body. Aftertaste is nicely bitter and a little sweet but just a little too dry, leaving an unpleasant dry sansation in your throat. Very good pale ale.

Aarhus, DK Bottled Very nice pale ale. The floral hops are balanced to the malty sweetness (Oats?)

Soft hoppy citrus aroma and some malt makes up the aroma. The flavour is nice and clean malty with a fantastic american hop flavour. Good bitterness and very drinkable.

Bottle, thanks to Jeppe for bringing this over to Belgium!
Clear blond body. Off-white frothy head. Aroma of amarillo, citrus, grass, hops, ... very refreshing and nice. The aroma is not very complex, but fair. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet flavour. Decent bitterness is present, but not very outspoken. It also becomes a bit annoying, it doesn’t merge into the rest of the beer. Ok, nice beer.

(Draught at Ölbaren, Copenhagen, 27 March 2008) Amber colour with creamy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with apricots, orange peel and floral hops. Fruity taste with apricots, caramel, orange marmalade and earthy hops in a lasting finish. Very nice one.
