650 ml bottle.
Pours a golden colour with a white head. Aroma of caramel malts, strong gooseberry bush and berries. Flavour of caramel malts, gooseberries, hay, bitter (but old) floral hops and metallic notes. Medium bodied, slick mouthfeel and high carbonation. Finishes bitter, floral and metallic, where the off-flavours come through even more. Not a fresh bottle at all. Re-rate needed.

650ml bottle from Kihoskh

Pours dark orange with a foamy head. Aroma of aged hops, crisp grass and malts. Taste is bitter, dry and hoppy with some aged hops and caramel. Finish is crisp and dry with bitter notes. Not very fresh.

Poured a clear golden amber with very little head. Nice fruity aroma - citrus with apricot nectar. The fruity hop flavour has a brief appearance before it is taken over by the strong bitterness. Some malt sweetness softens this a little but the aftertaste still has a lingering bitterness. Low carbonation and a rounded mouthfeel made this an enjoyable drink. Liked it.

Golden coloured and hazy. Has a white head, lasting. Heavy hoppy aroma, fruit, citrus and rubber. Flavor is heavy to harsh bitter. Dry texture.

Bottle. Pours golden with an off-white head. Aroma of peach, lemon, citrus, malt and fruitiness. Flavor is sweet and fruity with some malt, bitterness and citrus. medium body, average carbonation.

Bottle 650ml @ Geokkjer
Pours clear deep golden with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, caramel, citrus and grape. Taste is medium sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Bottle, 22oz. A clear, golden beer topped by a dense, finger-thick off-white head. Lots of hoppy aromas in this one, grass, pine cones, tropical fruit notes, resins and some pineapple. A touch of pale malts in the back. The flavor has a fine bitterness, slightly overpowering the malty flavors. Resins, pineapple notes and some pine cones in the flavor. Full body, pleasant carbonation. Lasting bitter finish. A bit unbalanced maybe, but nice anyway. 130420

light grass hoppy aroma,yellow,clear, white foam, light sweetness, very bitter, medium body, creamy, soft carbonation, very hoppy finish.

Bottle. Creamy White good mostly lasting head. Dark yellow color. Moderate malty and heavy hoppy aroma. Heavy bitter harsh flavor. Long heavy bitter finish. Oily palate.

I opened this beer, and it erupted into a fountain. Terrible first impression. Once you get over that awfulness, it pours a hazy dark golden color. Nose is slightly floral, but very light. Taste is like the hops have gone bad - ugh. Not a fan of this beer.
