Bottle. Orange colour with a white head. Fruity aroma. Bitter, hoppy flavour.

UPDATED: MAR 6, 2012 Bottle. Golden colour with a white head. Floral hoppy nose. A lot of citrus in the flavour, mixed with a good balanced malty body.

Milder, etwas süßer Hopfengeruch. Frischer, deutlich bitterer Antrunk, der im weiteren Verlauf erheblich stärker wird. Natürlich, wenig hopfig. Zum Ende wird das bisher vollmundige Bier schwächer, im Abgang gar mild bis neutral, nur noch wenig bitter. Sehr rauhes Bier mit markanter Bitterkeit. 11/8/7/9/8/8

Bottle from Systembolaget, tasted 2010. A bit hazy golden coloured beer, white head. Pleasant fruity hoppy aroma. Dry bitter taste, the aromatic hoppiness well present. Another refreshing hoppy ale from Oppirgårds.

Bottle, Göteborg, 2009 AP: clean golden colored body, great white head AR: fresh hops, and some citrus F: hoppiness heaven great bitterness

12oz bottle shared by Colin, thanks man. Dark golden with a orange tint to it and a big off white head. Lightly sweet and malty with lots of floral and herb hop aroma. Good creamy mouth feel with tight carbonation. Quite a bit of biscut malt, but works well with the earthy floral hops. Drinks nice.

Serving date: 2009-03-04. Served in half-pint glass. Golden orange, very pale and clear. Big, white and uneven head that settles after a while. Some lacings. Very reminiscent of a pale lager. Pleasant smell of plenty of soft hop notes (citric aromas), earth, sweet malt. Very refreshing. In the mouth, there’s caramel malt at first. Then plenty of hops: lemon peel, grapefruits, ripe apples, floral notes, resins. Some herbs, and a taste of tonic water. For a while, a bready maltiness and butterscotch take over. The finish is somewhat dry and surprisingly bitter, has some floral hop notes and metallic maltiness. Not a very pleasant finish actually as the bitterness dominates to much. Plenty of carbonation and a surprisingly light body. Again, the beer is close to lager territory. An ok beer, rather refreshing and very easy to drink. The smell is way better than the taste though. Would have liked bolder hop flavors. Serving type: bottle (Copy of old Beer Advocate review)

Bottle. Color is amber/orange with a pretty white head! Aroma is flowery and fruity hoppy. Taste is a bit friuty and grassy with strong notes of grape. Good!

Bottle. Color was amber, head was rather large. Aroma was wonderfully hoppy. Hops, grape, malt. Easy to drink. Aftertaste was quite long and contained citrus.

Bottle. Nice head with medium duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are dominated by bitter hops, citrus and malt, A bit one dimensional, but has a nice bitter finish.
