A hazed golden ale with a thin white head. In aroma, a smooth herbaceous malt with grassy hops, mineral notes. In mouth, a smooth crisp malt with light smooth hops, very nice and smooth. Bottle shared with GRM and ProbstK. July 24 2011. Merci Sylvain.

Bottle at Cropredy Festival, Saturday 13th August 2011 Craig brought this beer along and shared it, cheers Craig. Soft in mouth with plenty of creamy vanilla, lightly hoppy with an undercurrent of citrus. Nice beer, really nice beer. A6 A4 T8 P4 Ov14 3.6

Bottle 55cl @ Alvinne shop. Couleur orangée, dorée avec belle mousse blanche épaisse. Très bonne bière à tous les niveau et qui serait presque une hybride d’une IPA. Nez renferme une belle note d’orge japonais se rapprochant d’une branche éloignée du riz et confère à la bière un nez doux, le tout se coupe au houblon Sorachi qui rajoute un profile citronné et herbacé, le tout rappelant la moisson fraiche. En bouche, une bière remplie de saveurs et de finesse. De un, le houblon noble de Sorachi qui est un de mes préférés et qui rappelle beaucoup une IPA laissant un palais fruité qui mélange amertume et douceur, allant du citron/pamplemousse à des notes d’agrumes plus douce mais restant à la limite de l’amertume. A noter aussi, un profile herbacé restant sec et agréable accompagné par l’orge qui donne quant à lui ce côté grains, de moisson comme décrit plus haut. Une note de malt qui sans trop être présente rajoute une bonne balance à cette bière. Cela peut aussi rappelé le vin blanc sucré.

550ml bottle from Bierkompass
Pours orange with a foamy head. Aroma has hints of vegetables, grass, herbs and hops. Taste is quite herbal with notes of spices, honey and hops. Finish is quite sticky and sweet. Okay, but not really a golden ale.

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. White head with good retention recedes leaving spot lacing to coat surface. Sweet flowery spice and yeast aromas. Crisp with sweet earthy citrus upfront turning to a woody resin finish.

ACBF. Hazy gold beer, tiny white head. Light crisp palate, a little dry. Some lactose sweetness. Mild lemon citrus on a lagerish malt base. Crisp finish. Alright but was hoping for more from this brewer. Needed more Sorachi I think - and wasn’t it supposed to brewed with Sake yeast?
