Poured a hazy amber color with a medium sized, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops, pine, citrus fruits, vanilla, toast, toffee, and horsey brett. Taste of citrus fruits, toffee malts, vanilla, light honey, earthy yeast, and some tartness with a bit of alcohol in the finish.

750ml Bottle: Aroma of hops, grapefruit, pine, pollen, citrus, and fruit. Poured orange/amber in color with a large, foamy, creamy, off-white head that lasted throughout. Lightly hazy. Sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet and light to medium bitter. Tastes of hops, pine, light citrus, slight cream, slight caramel malts, and the slightest hint of Brett. Medium body. Creamy, then dry texture. Average carbonation. Bitter, hoppy, pine finish is lightly dry. A Belgian Strong Ale or a IIPA?

Quite similar to Alive but the amarican hops doesn’t enhance it very much. A bit disappointing...

At the tasting session by Joes. A clear amber colored beer, with a thick beige head. The aroma of hop bitters, with fruits in the back. The taste is dry bitter, spicey, with some fruits like citrus and apricots.. The aftertaste is warm, spicey and bitter.

Bottle courtsey of Henrikb, cheers Henrik. Consumed 09-04-09 Purs reddy amber, slight cloudiness and with a huge foamy off white head. Fresh juicy hops leap forth on the aroma front. Taste initially made me think a little of Orval. Really tasty beer there was plenty of yeastiness and hops in the mouth and a really furry bitterness to this, juicy and citrus fruity but then finishing dry. A really nice beer. A8 A4 F8 P4 OV16 4.0

Bottle from Ölbutikken. Pours amber with yellowish head. Smells of lemon and oranges. Malty taste with belgian yeast and lots of hops. Complex tastes but easy if you prefere to sit back and relax with it! Wonderfull!

Bottle. Look: Amber. Very nice creamy and thick white head. Smell: Hops. Extreme citrusy aroma. Some cookies. A lot more complex than your average IPA though. A bit more funky. Taste: Fruity and hoppy. Nice special dry funky bitterness in aftertaste. Orange, grapefruit. Overall: Simply one of the best beers ever. Refreshing and easy to drink, still very complex!

75cl bottle @ VinensVerden, Odense. Pours amber with a creamy white head. Nose is tons of hops. Grapefruit, orange and citrus. Very well balanced with some caramel and brett beneath. Crisp, dry and just lovely stuff. Light warmth. Lasting hoppy end. Reminded me more of an 2IPA or ASA than a Belgium.

From LIC, Aarhus, DK. Bottled, 280309. Amber with white head. Aroma of grapefruit hops. Flavor is malt, caramel, citrus and fruit.
