Bottle conditioned. Pours a lively orange/gold with no head. Citric hoppy aroma. Oily palate. Flavours of dryish,pale malt but nowhere near as hoppy as expected; almost a fruity lager. Solid but unexciting.

Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy/fizzy, off-white, mostly diminishing. Body is hazy dark yellow, bottle conditioned. Aroma is lightly malty (cookie, toasted grain), lightly to moderately hoppy (flowers, apricot), with a hint of ash. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.

Pours golden orange into a shaker. Bright white head recedes with spot lacing. Resinous hop aromas. Very sharp and hoppy upfront. Slightly watery in the finish.

50cl bottle. pours with a small white head. Cloudy yellow with some citrus fruits and a pleasant hoppy flavour. A light, despite its abv, refreshing beer, possibly better suited to the summertime- still waiting!

50 cL bottle. Pours slight cloudy orange yet clear and with a small creamy off white head. Citrusy fruity and hoppy aroma. Mild salty and ctrc to dry acidic hoppy base flavour with mild sweet hoppy note. Dry and bitter fruity finish. Delicate to fraquile.
