Lovely unclear orange golden color with a fine off white head. Mellow pine, tropical and grapefruit hoppy aroma. Medium body. Ok balance between sweetness and bitterness. Average carbonation. Fresh nice flavor with pine, tropical fruits and grapefruit hoppy. Classy apa.

Golden color with a white head, good retention and nice lacing. Aroma has notes of citrus and slightly resins. Flavor has a good bitterness, very fresh with some tangerine notes. Bittery final with good retention and hoppy hints.

Slightly murky looking deep gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is light with a minerally crisp bite. Thin malts, but they do bring a little creamy sweetness. Fair bit of hop spice here. Very mellow hop skunk leads to spicy tangerine and mild lemon. Develops through mild grapefruit and a little candy fruit sweetness. Finishes smooth with the hop spice going well in to the aftertaste.

Bottle from Harvey Nicks. It pours cloudy golden with a decent foamy white head. The nose is soft, juicy, orange, tangerine, mango, orange chewits, oily and hoppy resin. The taste is crisp, bitter, orange rind, nectarine, mango, pepper, marmalade, brioche and pine needles with a dry, citrussy finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Nice juicy mango action. Good one.

(Draught at In De Wildeman, Amsterdam, 28 Feb 2015) Hazy golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of citrus, tropical fruit and slightly grainy malt. Malty, fruity taste with tropical fruit, citrus, pineapple, mango and a generous citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and balanced with a fresh hop character. Nice one.
