DSG (455), Yuvalim, Israel Jul 26, 2008 Bottle (thanks alot omhper!). Hazy reddish-amber color with small white head that disappears almost immedietly. A great aroma full of hops, citrus, some flowers and hints of pine, as well as caramel and honey and maybe some cookies notes. A rather bitter and hoppy flavor with some citrus and maybe hints of exotic fruits and a malty sweetish background with some caramel. Medium-bodied and a good mouthfeel. Very good and highly drinkable. JustinBathurst (128), Corner Brook, Newfoundland, Canada Jul 14, 2008 Pours copper-orange, with a 1.5 cm tan head.
Aroma is lemon, pineapple, coriander, starfruit, and these poisonous vines with beautiful-smelling flowers that people plant in their gardens in Sweden. Absolutely fruity and absolutely fantastic smelling.
The mouthfeel is slick with low-medium carbonation.
The taste is pretty much how I imagine those poisonous flowers would taste if they were not poisonous (imagine that!) and apples. Quite nicely sweet, lightly bitter (true to the English style as represented around Kent). Unlike any other bitter I’ve ever had, this one is ridiculously fruity, but I like it.
A great beer. Awesome. TEJA (27), Stockholm, Sweden Jun 25, 2008 On cask at Oliver Twist.
Dry hoped with much freshness. Not so bitter and dry as the normal on bottle or on tap.
Flavours are well balanced and overpowering. A near perfect summer ale. NMC01 (24), Copenhagen, Denmark Jun 15, 2008 Updated: Jun 26, 2008Bottle 50 cl. Dry and very bitter ale. Light and refreshing with nice hoppy ending almost sort of perfumed. Nice and one of the best bitters I have tried. liinis (360), Finland Jun 9, 2008 orange golden and a bit murky. white head. Bitter as the label promises. Quite lovely bitter hops that remind me of english ale hops (?) in both aroma and flavor. very delicious, but a bit stingy and watery in the end. in the end also peppermint-like refreshing feeling. maybe a bit of a bit too fizzy, but when you leave a while in the glass it gets better.
