Birra dal colore dorato opalescente con riflessi rosa che dispensa da subito i bei profumi derivanti dai luppoli utilizzati (Nelson Sauvin, Perle ed Hallertau Mittelfruh): tanta frutta tropicale quindi, (mango, ananas e kiwi), agrumi (polpa di pompelmo rosa), frutta (melone, banana matura ed uva di moscato) e qualche leggero e fresco sentore erbaceo e floreale. L’imbocco di pane e caramello è davvero solo accennato, c’è subito un ritorno di dolce frutta tropicale ed agrumi. Retrogusto molto meno esotico, con un amaro lungo e persistente ricco di lemon grass e scorza di limone/lime, che la avvicina ad una classica Golden Ale inglese.

Pours really classical golden, bit of white foam but not much of it. Aroma is very hoppy, even fruity - but dry. Nelson is coming through and contributes to "full" fruity character this beer has. Taste is hoppy, light, and fully enjoyable. This could be called also a session IPA I guess, only much better balance compared with the most session IPA’s that I have had.

On tap at Haand Festival. An orange colored, unclear beer with a small, white head. The aroma is of the citrusy kind, orange peel mostly, with some pale malts. It’s quite bitter on the palate, with a touch pale malts. Orange peel. It’s dry and medium bodied, with a high but nice carbonation level. Lasting finish. A tasteful and quenching beer. 140524

On tap @ Haandfest 2014. This is a dishwasher colored one, pale and slightly hay colored. Small withe lacing islandy head. Nice hoppy citrus nose. Mild lemons. Some slightly sour goodness. A bit grainy in the taste. Not at all like the nice aroma. It's quite oily in the mouth and soft play prickling on the bubbles. Hay dryness, cause it is drying my mouth quite bad this. Near astringent in a way. Grassy tea like finish. This was not a favorite, but I quite liked the aroma. 24.05.2014
