On tap at Taphouse CPH, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma has some gentle oniony hops, soft citrus, and dry biscuity malt. Flavour is floral, with plenty of soft floral hops, some citrusy, and dry biscuity malt. Clean and gentle, without any of that oniony character that Citra too often has. Solid.
