Amber. Aroma is melon gletschereis butter prickly pear almonds. Taste is grassy hoppy tartness with a bit of murkyness. Some sweet buttery base though. Quite full bodied but a bitter resin finish. Not so great.

33cl bottle from tosano. Pours clear gold to light amber, fizzy, short bubbly head, thin retention, lacing. Smell is hoppy and citrusy. Aroma: pale/caramel malts, light chalky, vaguely fruity (pear, passionfruit, apple), flowers, unclear grassy hops, dry hopping, light spice (cinnamon, nutmeg), grapefruit, citrus peel. All this sadly faint. Taste is mild sugary at first then very sharp, aggressive metallic bitterness. Solvent notes in the finish, slick texture, bitter finish mild sour. There are interesting flavors and complexity, but it fades away immediately and doesn't remain on the tongue, finish is so short.

Clear golden, minimal off-white head. Moderately hoppy, herbal hops and malts. Dry and bitter. Medium body, moderate carbonation, dry finish with nice aromas. Quite good.

Bottle from Seiyu. Pours golden, some foam (that does not stay). Nose has lots of citrus, some malty backbone that is covered with lots of citrus hops.Taste is creamy, also some citric bitterness, quite well balanced with grainy body and drinks quite nicely actually. Nothing monstrous with this one, just hoppy pale ale, not even IPA bitterness here. Finish has some drier citric linger. Overall, not too bad.

Bottle from Seiyu. Grassy, herbal hop nose, citrus, quite English. Almost clear, deep gold with a medium head. Spicy, herbal flavor, citrus hops, rich sweet, clean malt, tobacco, bit of booze. Fun, oily, pretty good. Better than expected.

Sample at SBWF 2017. Golden with a white head. Mild with some hops, citrus, caramel and some grass. The body was medium as was the bitterness.
