From a 500ml bottle on 23/1/2011. Pours a slighly cloudy pale apricot/straw. The aroma light, fruity and a little floral. in the mouth, you get passionfruit and pineapple notes, with a slightly tart, and reasonably pronounced hop kick. A nice tasty, refreshing, well made blonde ale.

Dirty orange/ brown with a small white head. Very high bead. Modest passionfruit and kumquat aroma with some pears and bread. Thin mouthfeel borders on watery. Taste of light bread, pears with bright lemon sourness and a little bitterness. Nice floral note floats around the finish. Better - fruitier - as it warmed to about 10C rather than the recommended 6-8, but nothing special.

Bottled. A hazy pale golden beer with a slight pinkish accent under an off-white head. The aroma has strong notes of fruits - peaches and grapefruits, as well as medium notes of hops and yeast. The flavor is sweet with notes of grass, grapefruit, malt, lemon, and lighter notes of hay, leading to a quite bitter finish.

Bottled, thanks TimE! Lightly hazy golden. Lovely aroma of grapefruit and hay. Ligh tbodied with crisp mouthfeel. Superb fresh hop aroma, but the body is not really up to it. Very quenching. Realy good stuff!

Light golden color, over very thick pure white head. Huge soft hoppy nose. Fruity, earthy mouth that is alive with hops, yet enough malts to provide a decent backbone. A touch of honey sweetness in there too. Finishes very dry, with limited bitterness. Great depth, highly drinkable and very enjoyable. Loved it.
