Pours gold with a frothy white head. Aroma of lemon juice with softer tangerine undertones. Taste has a light tartness but by no means sour. Trends bitter at the end with a note of grapefruit. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Pleasant.

Can from Biervana. Tropical grape hop nose. Cloudy/milky amber, offwhite lace. Medium light dry, tart base. Smoky acidic, salty, perfumed tropical, burned notes. Muddled, doesn't know what it wants to be. New England Grätzer?

Can. Hazy golden-orange color with white head. Aroma is juicy fruits, sugar icing, cat piss, light yeast. Taste is lightly sour, soapy as well, sweet. Oily mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Not convincing.

(Draught at Stockholm Beer & Whisky Festival, 29 Sep 2017) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty, fruity nose with peaches, apricots and floral hops. Malty, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, grapefruit, peaches, resin and a generous citric bitterness. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Fresh and tasty. Quite nice.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a cloudy, opaque deep golden with a lacing, off-white head. Odd, unfresh aroma, a hint of tartness as well. Absolutely NOTHING of the "punchy tropical aromas" of NS as promised on the label. Medium body, totally unclean and unfresh taste, again with a hint of tartness and a slightly bitter finish. Tuatara is normally a quality brewery but I have no clue why they'd be involved in this mess. 301117
