Head: off-white, medium, creamy, good retention. Colour: amber, cloudy. Aroma: tropical fruit, mango, tangerine, some sharp yeast or horse blanket. Taste: tropical fruit, citrus, moderate bitter and zesty finish. Good one.

Bottle at the brewery. Pours somewhat hazy amber with a white head. Nice hop/malt balance.

0,75 l bottle as a gift.
Poured hazy amber with a creamy off white tan head. Aroma of some spicies, light yeast, tropical fruits, caramel. Medium bodied, easy drinkable beer with a smooth mouthfeel. Caramel, some fruits and yeasts, light spicies. Good one but not a very exciting one.

Popped off the cap and picked up some green grass notes that surprised me at first, but they quickly faded into some funk barnyard notes. Then I start looking up to the light .... seeing a thin cloud with in the body that feels thin on the palate because of some candy sweetness. Appearance is a bit mind boggling to the taste so extra points for that. Otherwise if filtered it may look and smell a bit like a wine cooler (ducks) Just a bit too candy sweet. thinnly sticky. dry finish. The unfiltered is nice and the funk makes up for any lameness. As it warms up to the ending nice little sips of complexity between malts and hops taking over the sweet.

Pale copper colour with a white head. Sweet aroma with strawberry, grapefruit, some lemon. Medium, well carbonated body. Floral bittersweet flavour with strawberry, mango, caramel. Very enjoyable.

Bottle. Pours a amber body, with a rich white head that diminishes fairly quickly, leaving a very good lacing. Mostly yeasty aroma, maybe some skunk. Not much taste, though. Found it very watery. Has a medium bitter aftertaste. Medium carbonation, medium body, watery texture. Pretty decent, but taste really needs improvement.

In bottle. aroma almost floral and soapy. Poured a cloudy orange/brown color with white head. Body is medium bodied with a hoppy/dry finish ... almost like an IPA meets an amber ale. Overall an OK beer

Classic APA with caramel, malty aroma, kind of citrucy and floral. The boltle of 750ml contains pale and hazy unfiltered beer with a white, medium lasting head of average carbonation. Medium sweetness, medium bitterness at a well balanced medium body with a bitter, but not too bitter aftertaste. I will drink this again.

Bottle 750ml.

Unclear medium amber orange colour with a large, frothy to creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, fruity, soapy, spicy, leather and horse blanket notes. Flavour is moderate to heavy sweet and light bitter with a average to long duration, dry, funky. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20120211]
