A hint of initial sweetness adds to the fruitiness and grapefruit tang of this summer ale without detracting from its clean flavour and rich hop aroma.

Bottle. It pours an almost clear body, golden in color and with a small, off-white head. Quite a lot of butterscotch in the aroma, almost hiding the fruityness. Not very pleasant. The same goes for the flavor. One gets used to the butterscotch, but itโs still a bit unpleasant. Fruity too. Full body, pleasant carbonation. Butterscotch and fruityness in the finish. Not my kind of beer. 130222

50 cl bottle @ home. Rated on 05.06.2011
Aroma has honey, some English hops, toffee and hints of floral notes. Flavour has also some honey, grainy malt, toffee and hints of floral notes. Quite strong on honey and low on hops, perhaps this bottle was past its prime.
