Can. Pours a red-brownish colour with a big nice steady off-white creamy head. Bit sweet and very hoppy and citrus aroma. Great mouthfeel. The flavour has a mild sweetness with lots of hops, pine, citrus and a very pleasant bitterness. Dry bitter and hoppy long lasting finish.

LCRBM2: Red berries aroma, red berries flavor. Earthy, flowery hops. Almost oily mouthfeel. Lacks balance.

Bottle thanks to Bager. Ruby colour with a huge beige head. Strong malty profile, plesant grass hop aroma and taste. Medium to full body with a light sweet round hop finish.

A Mes rate: Bottle at the Tom’s awesome Twickenham Brewery tasting.
A gorgeous rich amber colour with a thin off white head. Massive cheesy and resinous hops with some lovely fruit. Bitter finish. A little over the top. Straight forward but not amazing.

Can, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph. Pours a beautiful clear red amber with a medium creamy off white head on top. It leaves a good deal of lacing. Aroma is very floral hoppy with pine and caramel behind it. Upfront bitterness with good pine and fruityness is exchanged with a vinious sweet caramel middle with a finish in the medium bitter end. This is really a nice brew - bitter, fresh and sweet all at once.

(Can) Pours a lighlty cloudy deep amber body with a moderate quickl diminishing off-white head. Aroma of spicy cake, toffe, citrus, and pine. Flavor of hops, toasted malt, and pinapple; big and complex with a chewy, breadiness mouthfeel. Excellent balance of malt and hops.

12oz can (thanks Josh!). First can with a stick on label that I’ve ever seen! Poured a deep orange color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of pine, grapefruit, orange peels, very lightly spicy and some caramel. Tastes of caramel, oranges and pine. Alcohol content hidden. Nicely balanced. Wow, and out of a can. The only downside with this beer would be bringing a six pack somewhere, drinking them all (and this one was way too easy to drink!) and having the alcohol content creep up on you!
