Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Hazy yellow gold, white foam head and aroma of melon, grains, citric. Taste is malt, grainy, some caramel, with tangy, citrus, fruity, melon, woody & earthy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

10/2/2021. Can from Beers of Europe. Pours cloudy pale yellow gold with a huge fluffy white head. Light aroma of unripe honeydew melon and flowers. More intensity to the taste, with a nice hit of bittersweet melon. Quite fizzy. Moderate body. Drying moderately bitter finish. Decent showcase for this hop.

Can, 0.33l. Hazy pale orange pour, one finger soapy white head, medium retention. Lots of small lacing on the glass as it goes down. Somewhat sour on the nose, citruses, tropical fruits, citric acid, herbal and floral notes. Light body, medium to high carbonation, quite lively on the tongue. Fizzy, prickly mouthfeel, average texture. Sour taste balanced with lingering bitterness. Fruity aroma, citruses, tropical fruits, melon. Lingering herbal spiciness. Dry, slightly sticky. Floral and yeasty notes in the background. Medium lasting finish, subtle bitterness, sour, lime and lemon. Interesting.

Can. Pours hazy gold, good sized head with plenty of retention and lacing. Hoppy aroma, citrus, soft fruits, a little berry, honey. Taste is a softer melon, a more tart apricot, and a slight fruity berry in the finish along with a grassy malt note and a little honey. Unusually the description on the beer describes it well. Nice bitterness in the finish. Body is moderate and carbonation soft. I think this is the first time I have tried this hop variety and it is certainly distinctive. Handled well by the brewer here, this is well made and refreshing.

Can. Murky yellow body, white head. Sharp hoppy aroma, herbal, citric, some melon, stone fruit. Lean taste, melon maybe, some herbal bite, lightly citric, simple, dry pale that works quite okay.

0,33 l can from Goblet Beer Store, Zagreb. Shared with Marko and little Dina. Hazy yellow to golden, small off-white head. Lightly to moderately hoppy, the aroma is herbal, green hops, grass, giving way to more subtle citrusy and zesty aroma, pome fruit, floral, even white grapes. The flavour is nice hoppy zesty, herbal and fruity, very light and soft, very drinkable, moderate carbonation, light finish. Low bitterness. Good use of hops. Simple and nice.

Beter dan de vorige maar ook dit hoeft niet van mij. Maak toch een gewone pale ale. Super dun ook.
