Bottle shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Thanks Nathan! Pours a clear gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Lovely nose with cracked wheat, lime, lemon zest, straw and some mineral earthiness. Crisp and clean and very bright on the palate. Lots of citrus aromas and flavors, but delicately used so they don't overpower the grain and yeast. Great mouthfeel. Lingering citrus zest and lime on the palate. Light peppery, mineral notes on the finish with more zest. Cheers Luc, great work on this one!

Flaska från Mikkeller&Friends bottleshop. Gulgrumlig med kritvitt skum. Ganska snäll i aromen med toner av brett, grape, citruszest och en liten vaniljton. Lätt, pigg och ganska torr kropp. Fräsch syrlighet med mycket lime, limejuice, citronjuice, rivet citrusskal, citrusvita och grape. Även gröna druvor, lite omogna äpplen, hö, stall och en gnutta vanilj. Riktigt tjusig, subtil och fräsch. Lite fel årstid att dricka den kanske, känns som det hade gjort sig perfekt en varm sommar- eller vårdag.

Pours clear gold into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Sweet biscuit and blood orange aromas. Full, yet soft with tart lime and grapefruit upfront turning to dry sourdough middle before a lasting pith finish... and then back to creamsicle.... nice

On tap @Ma che siete venuti a fà (Rome). Bevuta a birre Sotto l’Albero 2016. Bellissimo color arancia, viva, solo un fili torbida, schiuma media bianca. Al naso è pulitissima, note di arancia, mandarino, agrumi, leggera speziatura, note floreali, fantastica. In bocca è un succo di frutta, molto equilibrata e di grande finezza, fruttata con note erbacee nel finale. Corpo medio, carbonazione leggera. Che meraviglia!
