Named after the lights of the aurora, regularly viewed in our northern skies.
Citrus flavours combine with hints of fresh bread: giving way to spice, citrus and apricot hoppiness. It has a delicious crisp hop character without being overly aggressive. Perfectly refreshing.
Hops: Perle, Hersbrucker, Saaz
Malts: Pale, Crystal, Malted Wheat

bottle from Bierzwerg. Clear pale golden colour with a small but persistent white head. Fruity nose. Light-bodied yet full of flavours. Malty background with fruity hints (lemon, orange, passion fruit) and a shy spicy-herbal touch. Thirst-quenching and complex at the same time.

Bottled 500ml. -Cloudy orange coloured, medium sized white head that went away slowly, dusty slight hoppy nose. Sweet malty, lemony hoppy and mild spicy with bready and grassy notes. Not so watery as I’ve expected. Moderate bitter finish.

(bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a fluffy white foam. Slightly sweet and juicy pale malty aroma with notes of citrus and woody, slightly sweaty hops. Moderately bitter flavour, light bodied with a moderately carbonated dry mouthfeel. Fruity and subtle grainy taste, accompanied by slightly flowery and woody hops; quite dry and moderately bitter finish with present hops character. Likeable pale Ale. 02.XI.09

Bottle. A pale, yellowish beer topped by a decent white head. Citrusy, almost tea-like nose with pale malts in the back. Lovely citrusy flavor with some pale malts. Maybe a bit one-dimensional, but tasteful and refreshing. Quite dry, and with a citrusy finish where also some bitterness shows up. Sure a decent beer, with good quenching qualities. 090720
