30th Oct 2017. 330ml can: BB 28th Feb 2019. Shared at the monthly beer exchange in Chez Sophie. Cheers Simon for this one. Poured a misty light golden colour, white head. Aroma was hoppy with a citrus leaning. The taste I thought bland, slightly fruity, again leaning towards citrusy notes. Not a great APA compared to most I have encountered so far.

330ml can @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Oct 17 Part 2, courtesy of Simon. Many thanks! Pours a misty golden yellow, small white head. Aroma has prominent fruity citrus, pineapple, grapefruit. Taste bears some pleasant fruity traits, although perhaps not as vibrant as the nose, but still quite pleasant and fruity. Decent 3.9% and no mistake.

0.1 l from tap at ’The Shakespeare’ (Herdecke). Clear, golden yellow with a medium large, fluffy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, fruity and slightly grassy aroma of mango, orange, tangerine and a touch of pine. Sweetish, slightly bitter, fruity-grassy taste of pineapple, lemongrass, tangerine and hints of pine, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, grassy and slightly resiny finish. Medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very nice!

Bottle thanks to a neighbour, in between dropping the kids at a disco and picking them up again. Clear golden amber with a thin white head. Citrus and caramel on the nose. Taste is bitter, lime, orange. Oily texture, bitter finish. Decent body for the strength. Nice.
