0.5l bottle @ Bar SF, Barcelona. Yeah, this is a cloudy orange-honey colored one with a big lasting fluffy off-white head. It has lots of citrus and peachy hops on the aroma. Also some tones of mango, water melon zesty and pine. Really fresh and nice. A bit branchy in taste. Definitely fruity and fresh, grapefruits, mild peaches. Average on the carbonation and quite oily on the mouthfeel, and it's leaving a soft gentle dry hoppy finish. Is it fresh? Absolutely! 10.08.2012

Dark amber colour, white head. Fruity aroma, passionfruit, nelson sauvin, marmalade, quite hoppy. Hoppy bitter flavour, orange marmalade, fruity, in a way quite light but sophisticated. Quite bitter fruity finish.

Thx. to Bart for this one // 50 cl. bottle sampled @ RBBSG 2012 // along with the regular one // the story behind this one is pretty cool // darker shade of amber with a solid white head // nose is lots and lots of hops, bitter marmalade, oranges, neslon with a touch of sweeter marmalade // taste is full on hop blast of bitter marmalade, oranges, quite bitter hops, lots of bitter exotic hops, bitter tangerine ending, bit atypical actually for the hops used even if this is very, very hoppy // body has been overtaken by the hops, feeling wise // quite interesting, I think right about everyone preferred the regular one including me

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a hazy amber with an off-white head. Very fresh and intense tropical fruit aroma from the hops. Medium-bodied, first a little caramel but otherwise extremely fruity, plenty of notes of ripe blackcurant from the Kiwi hops. Dry and hoppy finish. Lovely. 090812

Bottle, at TFODRBSG-12. An unclear, amber beer topped by a dense, off-white head. The aroma has caramel, some cat pee notes and a peachy touch. A bit boring and lacking on hops. Caramel, peaches, citrus and some piney notes in the flavor. Medium body, pleasant carbonation. Rather short finish. Probably not as fresh as it should be any longer. 120818
