@BBF12. Pours cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma is malt, perfume and a soapy citrus note. Flavour is malt, citrus, grapefruit and light perfume. Dry.

On tap @ Borefts 2012. Blurry golden-yellow in the glass with a small bubbly just off-white top. It’s fresh and hoppy om the nose, lot’s of citrus, grapefruit and zest. Smells quite nice. It’s also tasty: Hoppy bitter with a peppery spiciness. Fruity and fresh. Lots of citrus and some grape zest. Really light drinkable and refreshing! Yeah, I like this, and could seriously drink loads and loads of this. 30.09.2012

Fra flaske på bryggeriet 3 Nov 12. Gyldenbrun. Lavt skum. God fruktig aroma. Smaken litt tynn. Syrlig frukt. Vanskelig å identifisere. Avslutter syrlig. Uklar siste kvelling.

Bitterer Beginn mit leichter Hefe. Würzig süß, süffig, schmackhaft, passend trocken bitter, vollmundig. 11/11/12/12//11

The head is medium, the body gold-brown. It smells hoppy, a bit bitter. The taste is a bit pudery, hoppy, strange. Medium 10/10/9/9/-/9

330ml bottle, 5.3 % abv, drink-in at the microbrewery, shared with Finn. Bubbly, patchy surface covering a near-clear, amber-gold body. Aroma of citrus and earthy malts. Peaches, grapefruit and orange in the taste profile followed by a smooth and dry bitter ending. Very refreshing and moreish (London, 03.11.2012).

Sample at Borefts Beer Festival 2012. Pours a hazy and golden beer with a white head. The aroma is malt and hops with tropical fruit and peach. The flavor follows the nose. The palate is bitterness. Overall a good beer.

Bottled 03/11/12. An orange coloured beer with a little white head. Gorgeous citrussy juicy hoppy nose. Tangerine to the fore. Also lovely citrussy hoppy in the mouth. Malts do give a bit of an oily texture. Fresh flavours. Love the tangerine. Tasty for sure.

500 ml bottle bought @ beermerchants.com. Pours hazy pale golden with a frothy and bubbly white head that is rather quick to dissipate while leaving some trace on the glass. Smell is fruity and hoppy fresh with crackers, passion fruit, cheese, pineapple, hay, pine, white bread, strawberries, lime juice, dry wood, cherries in sugar syrup and pear skins. Taste is bitter, tiny malty, earthy and herbal with crackers, lemon balm, soil, dry wood, pear skins, lime juice, ginger, passion fruit, unripe strawberries, pine needles, biscuits, grapefruit rinds and hints of cheese, mouthfeel is round, slightly oily bitter, tiny watery and light bodied. Finish is bitter and hoppy with grapefruit rinds, strawberries, lime juice, passion fruit, wood, soil, ginger, crackers and pears. A weird but pretty good one.

(Bottle) Pours cloudy golden with an off-white head. The aroma holds a strange mix of cheese and fruits (passion fruit, strawberries, cherries, canned pears and canned pineapples) up front with undertones of flowers, lime, white bread and a touch of hay. The flavour is light sweet, medium bitter and tiny acidic with citric, light woodsy, light fruity, grassy and dry, pale malty. The mouthfeel is soft with a light carbonation. Lingering hoppy and light astringent finish. Light to medium bodied.
