An orange beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of caramel and dusty hops. The flavor is slightly acidic malty, but with a sweetness in the background, and with lots of fruit - especially apricot, but also quite strong notes of dusty hops, leading to a bitter hoppy end.

Draught
Blond color. Big creamy head. Quite nice aroma. Good taste, midway to a top fermentation, some sweetness, some hop fruitness. Interesting.

Hazy golden color; creamy head. Very nice hop aroma, strong, floreal. Very good body, sweet, enough malty, light yeast. Hoppy final. A very good Swiss PA/IPA! Good luck.

Hazy amber colour. Chocolate, strawberry, melon, and pale malts in the nose - nice combination! A little astringent, perhaps minerally. Slightly grapefruity hops and hardly any malt. Such promise - what happened?

Bottled, thanks Bov!
Hazy amber coour. Flowery hop aroma. Medium bodied, veryy hoppy with a lot of grapefruit. Lingering really bitter finish.

Yellowish head, fast receding; pale orange beer, slight haze, good carbonation. Some malts, flakes and - very strange - a smell of carrots. More vegetable smells, lake a garden veggie patch. Quite bitter, with again, a marked vegetable and earthy flavour. Bitterbite is rather harsh. Flowery notes throughout. Malt is there, but a bit overwhelmed. Rather light bodied, maybe medium - would be consistent with an 1047 OG, from a well-hopped and well-attenuated beer. Aftertaste has some orangey-citrus notes. I’m not over the moon. But then again, there’s much worse on P.A. in that styles’ country of origin!
