341ml bottle. Pours a slightly hazy gold-orange with a large, frothy, long lasting, white head that leaves plenty of lacing. Sweet, floral hop aroma of pineapple, orange, grapefruit and pine needles. Sweet citrus flavour of grapefruit, orange, grass, pine needles and a hint of spice with a dry, bitter, hoppy resin finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Not bad. This beer exceeded my expectations.

Cloudy golden color, small head. Grainy and cereally malts, some hop resins. Old bottle, but not bad.

341mL bottle, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out earthy notes, herbal notes, and biscuity malt -- smells pat its prime though. Flavour brings out piney hops, some earthy notes, and light biscuity notes. Past its prime, but still pretty decent. Rating based on what I think this would have tasted like fresh.

Bottle - Lemon grass and a bit dusty. Cloudy yellow with a thin head. Lemon candy like sweetness, mild bitterness and some sour spicy notes as well. Light on the tongue but a long unpleasant finish. Also an old bottle so this may have changed taste.
