Tight white creamy head stayed on an unclear light orange coloured still body. Zesty aroma with Tropical Fruits, mango, confectionery, pineapple & pithy hops. Medium bodied, sharp on the palate with a well carbonated clean back. Sweet tastes of peach, pineapple, mango, kiwi & Haribos.

Crisp and very clear copper and light amber coloured body, all with a nice, three centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of very fresh grassy and herbal hops with a pleasant bit of malt in the nose, some very light sweetness and a good balance of pungent yeast and alcohol on the edges. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal quality up front with a very nice fresh hoppy character and a proper balance of malt and grain noticeable throughout, all with a smooth sweetness towards the end. Aftertaste is all about the fresh grassy and herbal hops with some lighter yeast and biscuity, but also bready finishes from the malts and a good balance of the sugars as well. Overall, a very nice and fresh APA with a great grassy and herbal hop quality that shows even a touch of perfume towards the end. Great to sample and a very good representation of the style - if you like APAs or fresh hop beers that don't have to be cloying, this is worth searching out for. I sampled this sixteen ounce can, purchased from Whole Foods in New York (TriBeCa), New York on 13-August-2018 for US$3,99 sampled at home, very fresh, on the first day at my first house here in Washington on 28-August-2018.

1 pint can from Kihoskh, Copenhagen. Pours hazy yellow to golden with a white head. Fresh and almost intensely fruity aroma with plenty of tropical fruits, mild citrus and pale malt. Fresh, fruity and rather smooth with a surprisingly high drinkability. Nice one.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Whole Foods, Lynnfield. Appearance is hazy pale yellow-orange with intermittent sparkle, 2-finger width off-white fluffy head with fair retention and trace sudsy lacing at the top of the glass. Aroma is grapefruit and pine with milder citrus and herb, dank bitter. Taste elements are less identifiable than in the aroma. They just seem to come all at once as a big mix of fruitiness-bitterness-somewhat-herbal. Some late citrus and grapefruit but the dominant flavor is almost a soapy-potpourri vague sweetness but unidentifiable. Palate is medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, average carbonation with slight zing to the tongue, mild alcohol warmth, and finish is more citrus, herb and grapefruit. Overall, comes into its own more as it warms but the flavors seem to compete more than complement/play off each other as in the aroma.
