A hazy, orange beer with a big, cloudy and white head. The nose is fresh, fruits, oranges and spices. Nicely aromatic. Taste of fruits, some spicyness, oranges, the hops are aromatic as a citrusfruity and slightly herbal. The end is hoppy and dry. Medium bodied, high carbonation that is nicely balanced with fresh impression. Nicely aromatic and hoppy beer, what this beer would be if the botle would be more fresh, good beer.

Bottle, 75cl. A big, collapsing, off-white head forms over an unclear, orange-colored body. Lots of peppery hops on the nose, with orangey fruityness, some white sugar and Belgian yeast, and also some grass. It’s quite bitter in the mouth, both initially and in the end, with orange zest, white sugar and a yeast hint. It’s quite dry on the palate, even though there’s sweetness there as well, with a soft but perhaps a bit low carbonation level. Fruity and bitter finish with a peppery, grassy hops touch. Quite nice this one, but I have to admit I prefer the more traditional Belgian way of brewing. 140111

Bottle bought @ systembolaget. Pours tiny hazy golden with a big frothy goldenish white head that slowly dissipates while leaving some soapy lacing on the glass. Smell is phenolic, estery and herbal with banana bread, bubblegum, freshly cut grass, pine needles, peaches, apricots, pineapple, dry soil, white pepper corns, overripe plums, dry wood and overripe grapes. taste is tiny sweet, bitter, phenolic, estery and herbal with crackers, bubblegum, grapefruit rinds, freshly cut grass, pine needles, lemongrass, dry wood, dry soil, pepper corns, overripe plums and hints of sheet metal and banana bread. Mouthfeel is dry, astringent, tiny round and medium bodied. finish is bitter with banana bread, bubblegum, grass, pine, dry soil and black pepper corns. Quite good but I wish I had cracked this open fresher. --- Beer merged from original tick of Hop Harvest (2012) on 09 Dec 2013 at 21:27 - Score: 7

Big offwhite head. Clear amber body with carbonation. Fruity herbal aroma with minty notes. Dryish earthy resiny herbal taste with grassy notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, mealy mouthfeel. Dry resiny fruity mealy aftertaste with herbal grassy notes. Nice, drinkable, maybe a little bit austere, but with a good bit of sweetness to it. (0.75l bottle, from Kihoskh, Copenhagen.)
