So I scored this 500ml bottle but it may have some age on it. No date on it. Poured into a tulip glass with a big frothy head. Color is murky dark amber, no clarty in the beer and very little translucence. Aroma is strong - meaty slighty oxidized, sour tangerine with lots of sweetness. Taste is rather empty no recognizable affects of age though. Leaves no aftertaste, no bitterness. Medium body.

Orange/Amber colour with a VERY large dense white head. A simply mouthwatering aroma of lemon, grapefruit, tangerines and strong hops. Medium-bodied; High carbonation; Decently strong flavour, showing of a good balance with malt and the grapefruity hops come out in the taste as well. Aftertaste subtle compared to the aroma and taste, but is fairly clean. Overall, I enjoyed this beer...not the best, but better than average! I bought this 50 cL beer at Beers of the World in Rochester, New York.

Nose like a tropical fruit basket - rambutan, winter melon, mango and passion fruit; the palate is appetizingly hoppy with more tropical fruit notes alongside woody flavours and toasty malt.
