courtesy of Greg Gaughan; 2007 vintage - pours a fully cloudy copper-orange colour with a giant and creamy beige head; aroma of tangerines and caramel along with some undefined spicy notes; soft yet tasty mouthfeel, quite sweet with a hint of acidity; very low bitterness and a respectable malt body; long aftertaste of bread and honey - solid and charming

Bottle at Monks Cafe in Stockholm. Poured a hazy golden liquid with a medium foam, had some yeast at the bottom. Looked very appealing. It had a smell of orange and other citrus fruit, a bit "stingy" on the nose. The taste surpised me at first, it was sour, sweet and fruity with hints of druid orange. Very interesting beer and I enjoyed it.

Hazy amber body, with a small head. Aroma is spice, sourness and hops. Flavor is berries, hoppy and dry.
