Smak och doft av tropisk frukt, ctirus, blommor. En aning gräsig och örtig med en sträv maskrosbeska. En lättsam och aning vattning APA. Själv har jag lite svårt för just denna typ av beska. Dracks på fat.

Bottle: Thanks Papsø: Special and pretty nice label.
Medium to smaller sized white to off white head which changes pretty quick into a fluffy lacing that settles down as a almost closed thin and sometimes airy lacing.
Nice hazy orange amber colored beer.
Smell hops, some smooth fruit tones like mango, light apricot, light peach and lighter citrus, fresh cut grass, hoppy herbs, a slight hint of vanilla and a slight sprinkle of yeast.
Taste is a quite nice and balanced mix of hop tones, flowers, fruits like
fresh cut grass, bitters, herbs, a hint of cream and vanilla, crispy herb notes and floral tones.
Good hop notes (hop flowers, hop fruit, hop bitters and hop herbs)
Good smell and a pretty good close to equal taste (with bitters). Lots of crispy smooth hops! Nice!
Aftertaste is bitter with hop herbs, grass, hop flowers, some bitterness and floral tones.
Low to medium carbo, soft light creamy mouthfeel, good balanced medium body and a light creamy texture.
Well balanced, smooth and hop(e)full!

Den inleder med en kul doft av grape, mango och svart vinbär, en väldigt lovande inledning. Smaken är välbalanserad med inslag av grape och mango. Kroppen är något tunn men den passar väldigt fint till den här ölen. Slutsats: riktigt bra öl med mycket finess.
