Unclear golden. Shortlived head. Aroma of lemon and dishwashing soap. Taste of lemon and lemon grass. Decent balance and aftertaste.

Hmm, syrlig og litt fjøs, som ikke humle og lemongrass klarer og skjule. Spennende lagringspreg.

On tap at CBC 2012. Beer in the glass deep golden, nice head. Hoppy aroma with lemon notes. Starts mild-malty, more and more dry. Fine fruity like lemon. Some salty hints in the finish. Quite drinkable. Nice!

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 17 May 2013) Amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of citrus, roasted malt, toast and apricots. Malty, fruity taste with citrus, a touch of grapefruit, apricots, spicy hints of lemongrass and a fairly dry finish with a certain citric bitterness. Medium body, fairly dry. Well balanced and tasty with the lemongrass lurking in the background. Nice one.

Draft at Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2012. Pours light hazy orange-yellow with a fine, white film for a head. Very true lemongrass aroma, lightly tangy and sharp. Very refreshing flavor, sweet lemon and orange, a bit of wet grass, hints of spices and yeast. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Some zesty citrus to finish, light dough malts, medium sweetness, some grassy dryness. A pretty solid beer. The lemongrass is well integrated. Perhaps a touch too sweet, and I wouldn’t mind some more dryness, but overall it’s very nice.

Hazy golden with a white ehad - nice citrus aroma - some malt taste in the back to support a good ctirus / lemon tast - this was nice and refreshing

Aku Aku, Oslo tap (72 NOK): Pour is slightly darker than golden, but the bar was not well lit. Aroma is citrus hops and a good helping of lemon grass. Taste is very much on the light side. Lemongrass is prominent, but it is in no way overpowering. Hop bitterness is pretty low. This is a good session brew.

Draught at Danske Ølentusiasters Ølfestival 2012, Copenhagen
Cloudy dark blond color. The aroma is a bit smelly of dirty water. Weak body, simple flavor, there is a touch of lemongrass that brings freshness, dry mouthfeel, light soapy feeling, correct bitterness. Not impressive, it can be improved in many ways, starting from the aroma.
