0,33 l bottle. Pours hazy pale orange, mighty fine white head. Surprisingly more soft on the nose, no dominating grapefruit and hop, more earthy nearby eggs. Starts zippy bitter herb. Behind the wall of bitterness, pepper and hints of walnut. Later more citrus with a light sweetness. In my opinion too much of the hops side.

33cl bottle pours with a nearly clear deep gold body that supports a tall dirty white head of foam that leaves behind some sheet lacing. The modest aroma offers up some tart lemon and earthy malt sweetened lemon grass as well as faint candied tropical fruit. Decent. The taste has a quick hit of lemon tartness before fuller and rounder notes of mango, malt sweetened lemon grass and grapefruit take over. This has a thick malt sweetened citrusy and fruity hop flavor layers that get mowed over by a firm degree of citrus hop bitterness.

Bouteille 33cl courtesy of Tomaz. BB 28-9-2013. Trouble paille-doré, col crémeux épais blanc. Arôme offre des notes de grains/levure fermentés, le tout gardant ce côté concassé entrecoupé de pointes d’herbes coupées. Note rappelant les bourgeons avec un fleuri moyen. Palais est houblonné amer légèrement collant aux lèvres, note douce rappelant presque le miel. Pointe d’ananas, sec léger citronné, note herbacée entre pétale et camomille. Le tout est épais avec pour moi un côté grains dominant qui enlève un peu des caractéristiques de certains houblons. Pas mal de houblons s’entrechoquent ce qui peu aussi amener à moins distinguer certaines propriétés. Reste solide.

Slightly hazy pale golden colour, white head. Aroma of tropical fruits, quite some melon, pineapple, fruity. Quite sweet flavour, light bitter, light sour touch, some wheat? Lots of carbo, bitter hoppy finish, malts. Decent brew.

33 cl. bottle sampled @ RBESG 2013. Thx! to jfb. Hazy bright citrus with a creamy white head. Nose is mellow medicinal (heavy use of EU hops?), citrus hops (USA?), spices, flowers, wild fields & some air refresher. Taste is bitter spices, air refresher, bitter spices, garden herbs, bitter peel, very heavy spices, air refresher, bitter grass. Easy to drink with higher carb. Very heavy use of EU hops works rarely, American stuff balances it out bit here. Not the top but nice. Incredible is a bit too much but def. Nicer than the below ratings suggest.
