Pours very hazy golden with a fine, large, creamy, off-white head. Sweet fruity and hoppy aroma. Oranges, ginger, roses and grass. Fine, dry mouthfeel, prickly carbonation. Flavour is quite bitter, mild maltiness. Bready and the hops is very well applied. Pine, grass and slightly spicy at the end. Good.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
330ml bottle - - Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam
Slightly hazy orange. Sweet and slightly vegetal hoppy aroma. Lively carbonation. Very bitter taste, both a dark resiny back-of-the-mouth bitterness and also a sharp biting bitterness too. Unsurprisingly bitter finish, both components. Each sip gives you more, so do not do a 5cl tick with this one if you respect good beer. However, you will need to cleanse your palate afterwards, as those hops stick firm. Softer with yeast, less punchy and bitey, but no less hoppy. So add all the yeast.

A hazy yellow/orange colored beer, with a thick beige head. The aroma of malts, fruits like citrus and orange. The taste is hop bitter, with malts and fruits. There are little spices with some sweets. The aftertaste is light bitter, which lingers on for a while.

On tap @ Arendsnest. Hazy blond beer, white head. Aroma of bitter hops, a bit of sweetness. Flavour is soft and slightly sweet with a bitter background. Lingering bitter finish. Nice, but expected a bit more.
