Direct from the brewery. Gold with a frothy, white head. Citrus and grapefruit aroma with caramel undertones. Taste is bitter verging on astringent at the finish. The strong bitterness keeps this one from feeling particularly juicy or refreshing. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Okay.

Bottle from the brewery Webshop. Drunk after failing to get a Radeon 6800 XT, I call paper launch or at best token launch. Just a touch of haze, citrus fruity nose, a bit spicy and with some vegetal hints. Flavor adds some caramel, it's on the piney+citrus side and not so tropical as the latest-craze hazy's. Quite strong and lasting bitterness.

0,33 l bottle from rhoihessegold at Lokaltausch Deutschland Runde 2. Thanks a lot! Hazy golden in the glass, small one finger white head. Intensive tropical fruity smell. Taste starts with a strong hop bitterness, fuity in the second row, grape, mango, melon. Dry malty backbone. Nice!

Bottle from rhoihessegold in RB Euro 2020-01 Swap - Cheers! Pillowy white head left a creamy cover on an unclear golden body. Pithy, cat piss & bubbly aroma. Medium bodied, sharp on the tongue with a clean back. Confectionery, peach, Tropical & peach tastes with a long bitter tangy finish. Good one!

At a tasting, thanks, small bubbly head, hazy darkish orange color, aroma of pomelo, onion and a bit of flowers, flavor of onion and pomelo with just a hint of yeast, medium empathic grapefruit herbal bitterness, really good and highly enjoyable.

Aroma is sweet juicy fruit orange slight melisse and bonbon. Taste is the same with a little accent on bitter herbal melisse. So not totally balanced but pretty nice.

Tap. Hazy orange color with white head. Aroma is murky yeasts, grassy, a bit farty. Taste is the same. Silky mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Okay, but not great.
