3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle, 6.7%. Good hoppy aroma. Clear golden colour. Small white head. The flavour is quite bitter with a good grapefruit note. Slightly rough bitterness, but not bad. A little sweetness to balance.

Golden color. Both aroma and taste have a nice hopping, with some resins, but the malt is very low. Enjoyable, easy to drink.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Golden-bronze. Spicy hops with a hint of florals and bready malts. On the palate, these malts provide firm backing and have a noticeable toastiness. The hops are more subdued, with a moderate bitterness. The character is spicy, with light wood and orange peel. The finish is balanced and off-dry. Burps with a spicy hop character.
