500ml bottle, 4.8%. Clear orangey gold amber colour, foam white head leaving some lacing and aroma of tropical fruit, peach & citrus hop. Taste is biscuity malt caramel with zesty gooseberry and grapefruit hoppy bitterness. Creamy mouthfeel, light bodied, medium carbonation, lingering dry back of throat bitter finish. Very drinkable.

Light amber colour. Big hop nose is full of tropical goodness - mango, dragonfruit, papaya... Lots of bitterness, clean pale malts and all kinds of big fruity hops. Gorgeous stuff.

500ml bottle. Clear, deep golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Minimally grainy aroma, fruity hints of gooseberry. Taste is initially minimally grainy, fruity hints of gooseberry, a touch of peach, more and more bitter hoppy middle part, later again more fruity with subtle sweetness, some peach; bitter, minimally chalky finish. Nice, diversified development of taste, soft palate, matching carbonation. Really nice.

Bottle. It’s a clear, dark golden beer with an off-white head of moderate size. Some lacings. The aroma is mostly fruity, but there’s a touch of butterscotch and toffee in the back. Flowers, tropical fruits and a peppery touch. Medium to full body with a nice carbonation level, semi-dry. Toffee-ish, almost buttery malts with a fine nuttyness in the flavor. Quite bitter flavor with some tropical fruits and a flowery hint. Bitter, fruity finish. Especially considering the ABV it’s a nice one, but it’s not extraordinary in any way. 131214
