NosirIwont (1535) - Aalborg Vestby, DENMARK - DEC 16, 2011
Can. Pours a slightly hazy golden/amber with a diminishing beige head. Sweet hop aroma on a malty background. Quite nice. Overtone of hay and bread as it warms, which detracts a bit from the initial impression. Flavour is sweetish, hoppy, bitter and a bit dry with a metallic overtone. Warming brings out a malty note which is walking a thin line between bread and grains. Finish is bitter and bread-like/grainy, the bitterness having the beginnings of a liquorice touch, but not quite getting there. Lingering notes of apple. Overall good, but have had better. 16.12.11.

cpetrone84 (623) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 13, 2011
Pours a transparent copper toned orange with a pure white head and decent lace coating the glass. The nose is extremely hoppy and sweet with a strong resigny oil hop presence. There is a very light malt in there but the hops are strong behind with notes of citric orange. The taste has a more assertive malt presence with a lightly toasted bread and pale malts. There is an assertive citric hop and strong bitterness to balance. Medium to full syrupy body and a lighter carbonation with a very clean finish. The beer is balanced, strong hop presence and very clean beer.

Marsiblursi (2325) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - NOV 25, 2011
(Canned) Pours clear amber with an off-white head. The aroma holds citrusy (orange and grapefruit) hops and light sweet (toasted cookies and caramel) malt. Resinous and light fruity undertones. Maybe a floral touch. The flavour is light sweet, medium bitter and tiny acidic. Citric, light floral, toasted and light caramelly. The mouthfeel clean, round a tiny sticky with a light to medium, almost crisp, carbonation. Lingering afterbittrness. Near medium bodied.
