On tap at Håndverksølfestivalen 2017. A finger thick off-white head sits on top of a lightly hazy golden-orange body. Delicious but quite single tracked aroma, more or less hops only, with citrus zest, pine cones and grapefruit. The flavor is a bit more diverse, with pale malts in the back and a nice bitterness. And of course the piney, citrusy things found on the nose. It's full-bodied and nicely carbonated, with a lasting finish. Dangerously easy drinkable. 170610
