[At Stockholm Beer Festival 2005] An orange beer with a huge light brown head. The aroma is sweet and slightly hoppy as well as slightly caramelic. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and very hoppy, giving it a dry end.

Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival. Deep golden, rich head. Grapefruity hop aroma. Drish and fairly light bodied with clean mouthfeel. Despite the wealth of Cascade hops it is still balanced. Straightforward, near simple, but also very enjoyable.

(On tap) Beautiful, clear amber with a white head. Vaguely floral, hoppy nose. Medium body with some caramel. Hoppy, floral finish without being overly bitter. Quite a pleasant session APA. 280306

From tap. Pours clear and golden yellow with a fully gone head. Aroma is mild citrusy hops. Flavour mild crisp hoppy with a light bitterness coming through. Crisp finish with a delicate fruity bitterness coming through. Nice and easy, tasty too.
