What beautiful aroma, pineapple and maybe some grapefruit all around. Wish my house could smell like this when I wake up. The beer itself is warming and has a slight bitter finish. Tastes very American to me, which is a good thing. Bottle from De Bierkoning.

Bottle at home. Cloudy orange-red coloured with a medium sized off-white head. Sweet and fruity aroma of caramel, dried fruits, hops and pine needles. Sweet and fruity flavour of hops, grapefruits and caramel with notes of grass. Dry hoppy finish.

33cl bottle shared with Dutchdrebus. Nice red color with a medium sized off-white head. Smell hops, lightly malts, slightly sweetish and some fruits. Taste malts, hops, a pleasant bitterness, some fruityness, a touch of alcohol. Full body, medium carbonation. Pleasant.

Bottle thx to Benzai. Ruby colour with a small off-white head. Smells some hops, bit malty, slightly like a new plastic shopping bag. Tastes very bitter, the same plastic bag taste like in the smell, hops, sweet. It has a weird taste and the best way i can describe it is plastic shopping bag. Full body, soft carbo.

33cl. Bottle. Poors almost clear red with a little head. Aroma fresh, apple, raspberry, red fruits, pineapple, some caramel. Taste red fruit sweet, awesome pineapple bitter. Mouth-feel creamy. What an awesome brew! Lot’s of fruit in the nose and taste

Almost clear reddish appearance, small off-white head. Aroma of red fruit, hop. Red fruity hops dominate the taste, with some malts beneath them. Nice beer, though I had hoped for something better.

Shared bottle at Schoukjelleren, Oslo. Pours cloudy orange/amber with a small white head. Aroma is fruity, mango and pineapple. Taste is full of fruity notes, citrus and pineapple, moderate sweet malty. Lingering sweet malty, dry hoppy finish, good beer.

33cl, new exclusive Dutch brew Anno 2012, from De Bierkoning Amsterdam, very complex bitter brew, woody/bitter and slightly fruity/spicy, not too heavy, very balanced, cloudy, small head, very good brew, yet expensive!

33cl Bottle at UDRBM. Slightly hazy deep amber colour, white head. Aroma of clementines, citrus, oranges, light pine and grapefruit, candy, caramel, nice hops. Flavour is sweet, light malty, floral, clementines, bitter oranges, candy sweetness, firm bitter grass, pine and fruity hop finish. Medium-bodied. Nice and easy beer, not much depth imo but well-balanced and tasty.

UPDATED: DEC 2, 2012 Bottle @ tasting. Aroma is big hopresin, candy like fruity sweetness, some caramel note. Flavour is big hop bitterness, thick liquorice, caramel, slight roast, long lingering bitterness. Very nice.
