Poured from 473mL can (bb 09/11/21). Hazy golden orange with off-white head. Fairly malty, mild citrus hops, touch of tropical, and a bit of resin on the finish. Would probably be great fresh, but this can is a bit old.

Bottle from Tanakaya. Quite clear golden colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is bitter hops, bit of citrus, feels like lime to me, bit of pine too. Also biscuity malt. Taste is less bitter than i expected, maybe my bottle is old. It is however very nice. Citrus at the start with a lot of malt coming through afterwards. Touch of spice in there too. Very easy to drink. Nice light carbonation. Finish is lingering bitterness, grapefruit and lemon. Very nice.

LCRBM2: Grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit and red berries in the flavor. Oily hoppy aftertaste.

Bière quelque peu surcotée sur le site. Globalement plaisante, mais qui manque de complexité avec un axe résineux pamplemousse très prégnant laissant peu de place à d'autres arômes, trop linéaire de l'attaque au final, un peu trop douce et qui manque d'imagination. D'autant plus qu'avec Chinook, Cascade, Columbus et Centennial, il est possible d'avoir des arômes plus riches. Le visuel se porte sur un blond doré, parcouru par de fines bulles. La mousse blanche nappe juste la surface. L'amertume est sur une amertume franche mais avec une base un peu trop sucrée, la rendant moins saillant. C'est le résineux qui prédomine comme arôme avec du pamplemousse de l'orange et de légères épices. La deuxième est réellement trop douce avec des arômes complètement linéaires. L'arrière bouche et le final sont heureusement un peu plus tranchantes (sans faire les 75 d'IBU). Longueur et corpulence sont correctes et l'alcool à 7,5 % est honnête. Il faudrait passer la 6ème pour gagner la course.

Gold with a lingering, creamy white head. Aroma full of peach, citrus and caramel. Bittersweet turning more bitter at the end. Light floral notes at the finish. Medium body—nice creamy body. Very nice!

Draught at Golden Gate Taproom, small creamy head, clear golden orange color, cirus yeasty aroma, bready, fruity citrusy flavor, medium mellow grapefruit bitterness. Good and enjoyable.
