Sampled from tap at the brewpub. Clear, golden yellow with a white head. Sweetish, fruity and a little grassy aroma of lemon, pineapple and some lychee. Sweetish, fruity, slightly herbal and a bit grassy aroma of lemon, pineapple, some ginger and lychee, followed by a short, slightly bitter, moderately grassy-dry and a little herbal finish. Medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Really nice!

Slightly hazy medium amber colour, good two finger frothy off-white head, minimal lacing. Aroma pale malts, orange, lemon, grass. Mild taste, medium sweet and bitter, malty, citrusy. Llingering dry bittersweet finish, grassy citrus notes. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, not a full-blown apa but a nice mild pale ale.

20/VI/16 - 33cl bottle @ home - BB: 3/VI/17 (2016-680) Thanks to Erwin for sharing the bottle!
Clear orange beer, big aery regular off-white head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very malty, cardboard, orange peel. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: bitter start, some orange peel, grapefruit, some citrus, bitter hops. Aftertaste: malty, fruity, some citrus, wine gums, sweet, more orange peel. I guess this is already been shelf aged for a year? That probably didn't help much...

Light, fresh hop taste and a touch of malt and banana sweetness. Has elements of APA and Belgian blond.

Tasting glass draft @ AC/CB. Hazy amber with creamy white head. Light USA, citra hops in the nose, yeast, light hay. Taste is thick yeast, bread, light odd hay, touch cheesy fresh citra hops, yeast is thick. Body is touch to much candy sugar & yeast. Okay but needs to have way more less yeast & more overt taste for me. They told me that they were aiming for a more Belgian taste with this selection which I understand. Best one of the 3 beers which I tried from them then.
