(Draught at Jopen Proeflokaal, Amsterdam, 20 Feb 2016) Golden amber colour with dense, off-white head. Malty, hoppy nose with notes of grapefruit, resin and pine needles. Malty, hoppy taste with grapefruit, resin, grainy malt and a generous citric, resiny bitterness. Almost full body, with balanced sweetness. Possibly a bit sharp and unbalanced, but quite tasty with a generous hop profile. Nice one.

Bottle @ weekly tasting shared with Dutchdrebus and Joes. Clear golden color, medium sized white head. Aroma is lightly grassy but mostly soapy. Appears too young.. Taste malts, a bit dusty, a bit old hops, quite firm bitter. Hmm too bad, think the base is ok but it’s either too young or needs some tweaking.
