Bottle, Stirchley Wines, Birmingham. Hazy orange pour with a small white head. Piney hop and grapefruit notes in the nose. Flavour was sweet malts, booze and fruity hop. Balance somehow off. and the bitterness lacked any finesse. Strangely disappointing.

Draught at Man in the Moon, Stockholm
Hazy orange amber color with generous creamy head. The aroma is very earthy, manure, strong, but with a pinch of freshness and fruitiness. Smooth mouthfeel, good toffee and caramel flavor, with resiny hopping, strong bitterness, and some orange character. Long final, with some dustiness in the end.
Very interesting.

Very hazy amber beer. Tidy pale cream coloured head. Light palate, a little soft and airy. Mild sweet caramel malt. Piney hops with pithy tangerine. A little peach and then yellow grapefruit bitterness. Whisper of minty coolness before the semi dry finish. Easy drinking DIPA. Good bitter linger.

Bottle at home in London. Pours lightly hazy, rich gold, quite effervescent, with a large, frothy white head. Massive funky brett tons of poo, manure specifically, some ripe citrus. Medium to big sweet flavor, plenty more poopy funk, some juicy citrus and sticky pine. Full bodies with average, massaging carbonation. Lightly warming finish, quite resinous, with more manure, grapefruit, orange, light dirt. From the other reviews it seems like the brett character is not standard, but it actually really adds a nice dimension to the beer.

Bottle. Hazy amber liquid with medium off - white head. Aroma of banana, mango, grass, vegetables, caramel and grapefruit. Too much overripe fruit. Taste is light sweet and light to medium bitter with notes of banana, mango and caramel. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Meh.

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm) Hazy amber colour with brief, foamy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with caramel, bitter orange marmalade and resin. Malty, fruity taste with notes of caramel, resin, orange peel, pine needles and a generous resinous bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. I wouldnโt say exceptionally well balanced, but itโs sheer power and generous bitterness makes it quite magnificent. Very nice beer.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a lazing orangey head. The aroma has notes of hops, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, citrus fruits, peaches, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.
