750mL Bottle. Noses in a very cologne heavy sweet cool scent. Dew-like. Hop oriented, but well blended with yeast character. Pours a brassy golden with slight tinge and a head in rocky, well-lacing white. Flavor is rich. A fresh burst of rich, grassy-almost-piney hop character. Fresh and slightly tangy. Then a long sweep into a real quality Pilsener malt character. It’s just so delicate. Great balanced. As the beer warms and breathes, it expresses more malt nuance and some delicate honey-like character that become real palpable in the finish. Delicious. Balanced, refreshing, complex and drinkable. All you can ask for in beer!

Oct 2, 2008 Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm. Slightly hazy deep golden color with nice creamy head. Perfumed, orangey, lemony, peppery and coriandery aroma. There is firm herbal hop flavor and firm bitterness with honeyish maltiness, pepper, coriander and clove in the background. Good robust flavor.

Sep 26, 2008 Courtesy of fishingnet. Pours clear gold with thin white head. The aroma is crisp and fresh with a grainy maltiness, a citrus lemon bite along with raisins and prune notes. The taste is much the same starting with grainy malt notes and moving quickly toward tart citrus lemon acidity and countered by mild prune and raisin notes in the background. It ends with lingering citrus tartness.
