Pours deep gold into a shaker. White head with excellent retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Resin and caramel aromas. Sweet caramel upfront turning to resin and grapefruit in the lasting finish.

12 ounce can thanks to Craig via Travir. My final 51st State! Pours a cloudy orange color with a huge foamy white head, a bit of a gusher in a can. A nice nose of fruity hops and light caramel. A smooth lightly bitter pale with loads of sweet hops, light earthy caramel. Smooth and easy.

Hopfiger, dunkel bitterer Beginn. Die Bitterkeit steigt, die blumigen Noten bleiben z.T. darunter verborgen. Dies bleibt für eine längere Zeit so, spät dann leicht hefig, die Bitterkeit sinkt zugunsten der Hopfigkeit. Nett! 8/10/11/10/10/10

Can @ Dan’s house. Strangely enough, I acquired two cans of this in one week: one from foppa78 and one from beerandblues2 via ratman. Thanks for the dc tick. Hazy orange appearance with a tan head. Mild floral, orange hoppy, pale malty aroma. Slightly tangy, floral, herbal hoppy, somewhat bitter, pale malty flavor.

12 oz can courtesy of Suttree. Pour is a hazt orange copper brown with a thich two inch light tan head. Head falls with lacing. Aroma is fresh orange citrus peel, grapefruit and a crackery malt. A touch of honey floral comes out as it warms. Taste is resin grapefruit, mildly bitter citrus peel and the base of the cracker malt. Decent blast of pine notes as well. Certainly more balanced to the hops. There is an almost tart sour quality that is quite pleasant with the sharp hops. Palate is light to medium bodied, lower carbonation, bit of a limp body to it. Grapefruit and pine linger in the finish. Bright flavors, fun beer. Thanks for 51/51 Phil.

Flavors are hoppy, spicy, grainy, orange, hoppy, a bit herbal. Dry. Pretty bitter. Lively bubbles, spicy, dry finish.

Cask, 6.0% dry hopped with citra. Good caramelly hop aroma. Almost clear red copper colour. Very small frothy white head. The flavour is nicely hoppy, caramelly and slightly piney. Also quite alcoholic, tastes of more than 6%. Must be the hops biting. Late bitterness, quite distinct and a bit rough. A bit flat, would have liked more carbonation even though it is cask.

Can. A hazy amber beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma has notes of hops, citrus fruits, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, citrus fruits, and malt, leading to a bitter finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.
