Murky orange beer with a sweet, hoppy aroma. The flavour is surprisingly restrained, blending some malt and sweetness in with the big hop hit. Delicious.

Bottle from Jacks Westholme Stores, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon, consumed at home Monday 23rd December 2013 Murky light brown in colour with an off-white head. Aroma is fruity with some juicy tropical fruits these transfer into the mouth nicely. Slick, thick and with some pineyness, bit of resin, sweet to bittersweet, warming, lovely. Emjoyed this a lot.

Draught at Söder om Småland, Malmö; 8.5% and "batch 2" on the keg, according to the bartender
Cloudy amber color with compact head. Strong aroma of fruity and resiny hops, deep persistent and clean. Good body with smooth mouthfeel; strong caramel flavor, quite strong hop resins, moderate hop fruits (bitter oranges, cedar and more), and light Parmigiano Reggiano touch, umami. It has just the correct sweetness level, not too much, and pretty strong bitterness.
I like my hoppy beers when they deliver fruity freshness; this is not one of those, but it’s solid and clean enough to be enjoyed.

Keg @ BrewDog Shepherds Bush. Dark copper/orange, a bit of head. At first I could smell the hops from 18 inchs away, but the aroma seemed to fade quickly. Still full, fruity and fresh though. Grass and a definite papaya note. The taste was maltier than I’d expect. Bittersweet without altering too much throughout the profile. Too much alcohol. Overall verdict: incredible, but perhaps too intense.

Bottle at Dean’s Pale Lager tasting, Den Haag. Poured a very slightly hazy medium amber with a thin white head. The aroma is big grassy nettle hop and malt. The flavour is strong bitter. Medium bodied with low carbonation and a big fruity boozy palate. A truly amazing beer.
