3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. A clear one, dark golden in color and with a dense, off-white fingerthick head. Lacings. Lots of grapefruit on the nose, pine cones and generic citrus. Sort of grassy and woody. A bit weak on the nose actually, but nice. Smooth, dry and nicely carbonated, with flavors of grapefruit and resins. Fine bitterness in the finish. A nice beer with a short finish, but I don’t think it’s well suited as a single hop. 110908
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: SEP 6, 2011 Sampled at Mikkeller Hop Series tasting - Dahlbergs, Helsingborg. August 2011.
Aromas of pineapple, papaya and other tropical fruits, grass and summer meadow. The taste is fresh and fruity with hints of hay, doesn’t have the big sweet punch like some of the others had. Pretty dry.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
2011-08-10. Crisp orange body with a small beige head and nice lace. 3+ Flavour has a fairly leafy character at first, modest resin, green hops linger in the finish. 7+ Modest hoppy aroma, modest lemon-grapefruit citrus, light grassy touches. Average plus bodied palate. Lingering zippy lemon and green hops in the aftertaste. Bit of lemon notes, but not nearly as much citrus as I had hope for from cascade. Huh. Okay, but disappointing.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
All 19 in this hop series are shared with my husband, Anton. It’s hazy bronze with a red hue and a huge, creamy head. The aroma has notes of citrus, papaya, spruce, hay and malt. The flavour is pretty much the sam plus a fair share of caramel. The finish is dry. Normally I adore Cascade hops, but this doesn’t really do the trick, and I’m wondering why...?
