330ml bottle (kaisla, Helsinki)
Lovely fruity hop aroma some sweet caramelly malts.. Slightly watery palate, pleasant carbonation. Very nice sweet malty body, some fruity hops, and some nice huskiness. Shame about the lthinness, if this was unfiltered it would be great.

330ml bottle (£2.80, Inn Deep, Glasgow):
A hoppy citrus aroma with some grapefruit and tropical fruits along with a moderately bitter aroma and about average nose strength.
Clear, light golden amber with a thin and patchy lacing on top.
Citrus to start off the taste although this comes across stronger than in the nose. There is some grapefruit and bitterness with the tropical fruits coming through. I could detect some spice as well and some floral hops coming through.
Smooth and light medium bodied beer with a good pine bitterness and plenty of hops with a nice citrus tang. Carbonation levels are medium.

A pleasant and somewhat refreshing taste that proved very easy to drink. The beer went down well and although not one I’d seek out again, it is a beer that I will probably have again at some point in the future.

0,33 l bottle BB Mar 2014 from Bierzwerg.de Dark golden color, clear and with frothy, white foam Good / typical spruce, citrus, grapefruit and bitter hops aroma. medium sweetness, very bitter, lightly sour medium body, oily feel, average carbonation, bitter and long finish. Nice bottle label design.

Bottle 33 cl, BBE 03/2014. Pours clear golden in color with a thin white head. Grassy bitter hops, sharp piney notes and forrest in aroma. Sneezing effect here in this. Bitter grassy hops in taste, some sweet maltyness as well. Buttery and notes of hay also. A bit like a hybrid between an IPA and Dortmunder Helles. Grassy, sweet buttery finish. Okay, perhaps more grassy though, but with that slight burnt grainy feeling though.

33cl bottle pours with a clear gold body that has copper hues and supports a thin white head of foam. The aroma offers up some spicy somewhat yeasty notes followed by fruity malt sweetened citrus as well as a mineral note. The taste has a decent load of malt sweetened citrus hops creating a citrus gummy bear to sweet hard candy like sensation. Quickly the hops do get increasing bitter to midway and into the finish to the point of becoming pleasing tart grapefruit notes to a touch of lime. This achieves a tasty citrus hop bitterness with only echoes of the initial sweet citrus hop flavor into the finish. Darn nice IPA.

Bottle. Clear gold with a thin head. Aroma is fruity hop. Flavour is a nice mix of fruity sweet and bitterness, peach and apricot with a growing bitter palate.
