Translucent gold with a thin but lasting beige head. Fairly full, but not syrupy or sticky, body with soft medium carbonation.

Aroma: lots of sweet buscuity malt, yeast and alcohol esters, and grassy and citrusy hops.

Taste: Sweet biscuity malt, bright floral citrusy hops, yeast esters, and a bit of alcohol.

Wonderful beer. Flavor and body are light enough to keep it rather quaffable.

Marsiblursi (2312) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - JAN 25, 2012
(Bottle) Pours golden with a medium white head. The aroma is heavily hoppy with striking tones of weed, black currant tea, light pine, wood, pineapple, grass and citrus. Light toasted and white bready malt. The flavour is medium sweet and medium bitter with a fat flavour-hop profile. Tones of flowers, black currant tea, some citrus/grapefruit/lime and toasted white bread. The mouthfeel is clean and light sticky with a light to medium carbonation. Citric and light malty finish. Medium bodied.

Aroma of hops and almost bananna. Like unearthly it has a hint of apricot. No head, color is copper orange. Almost a cereal note on the front and sticky hops on the palate at the end. No alcohol burn at all for 10.5%. Nice blended IPA.

I think I liked this more than hardcore IPA. Much bigger beer. Real resinous hops and big grapefruit surrounding the mouth. I was pretty pissed after this but wished I had another glass. Will have to get some more

PJClarke (1406) - Portland, Oregon, USA - JAN 16, 2012
Very cloudy and a hard to establish head. The aroma is muted and thick. It leans toward the Hefe, at least until you’ve had your first sip. Man this is a muddle, tasty but not worth the money. Super thick, with an acetone finish if you have more of a gulp. It’s way too bitter for the aroma, or vice-versa depending. I’m just not sure this is a thought-through product.

Bottle enjoyed at home
Copper, thick beige head. Smells of pine, grass and hints of smoke and citrus zests. Taste is quite malty, almost chewy, still not like breakfast or anything. Tons of sweetness and a thin faint of alcohol in the back. Nice oily palate and a super hoppy finish with resins and some zests. Nice beer, better than un*earthy and probably hoppe too. Very nice blended ST
