Keg. Beautiful dark orange. Thinnish white head. Incredibly sticky, piney. Big sweet tropical fruits and a throttling punch of hops.

Drat. Deep hazy golden amber color. Aroma of grass, meadow. Taste is wildflowers, light citrus. Nice balance.

draft at Copenhagen Beer Celebration. amazingly soft and delicate hop acid nose (dried grass, light unsweet citrus fruit). dry body, perfectly matched carobnation, malt body and hop acid. quaffable, full and round carbonation froth without any malt goopiness or heaviness. amazing stuff, and probably the favorite from the festival.

Tap at CBC. Pours low haze golden to orange. No head retention. Sticky orange candy aroma with raw rustic grain. Slight mango. Taste is blander, citrus juicy, lemon, small mango hoppiness.

Bottle.Pours almost clear golden with a huge off-white creamy head. Aroma of tropical fruit, bordering to catpiss.Taste is overall very dry and bitter fruity, lingering bitter aftertaste. Dry and clean mouthfeel.

Bottle at home thanks to Sev. Pours a golden colour with a thin white head. Tropical juice aroma and flavour. Aroma of passion fruit, pineapple and watermelon. Nice passion fruit flavour also with some pine, kiwi fruit and raspberry notes. Fairly bitter and very tasty!

Shared bottle, courtesy of beer pal, Ole Anders. Clear golden body with a short lived, small, off-white head. Fruity, sweaty cat piss aroma. Bitter and fruity mouth. Medium body. Watery texture, but leaves a dryness on the tongue.

Bottle on a number of occasions (the last being my ECR tasting). It pours hazy golden yellow, with a decent white head. The nose is full of juicy citrus fruits (orange, tangerine and pineapple), grass and cat piss. The taste is orange, sweet tangerine, mango, pineapple, grapefruit, fruit salad sweets, pine, yeast and alcohol warmth, with a big bitter finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Yum.

Bottle at the East Croydon Beer Tasting. Pours cloudy gold with a moderate, white foam head. Citrus, cat pee hops on the nose. Medium sweet flavor, plenty of bitterness, citrus, pine, some yeasty bread. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Good hops to finish, oil and resin, bit of lightly toasted bread, pine, faint honey. Very, very good.
