A very pale, crisp beer, with a hoppy character. A fruity aroma and a pleasant, light taste.

Bottled (from K Citymarket Kivihaka). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, some floral hops as well as some mild mild grassy and malty notes. Flavour is quite grassy and spicy with some smooth maltyness to back the bitterness up. As it warms up a bit the bitterness in it grows.

Bottled at Horsens Beerfestival. Pale golden with a medium white head. Fine aroma of citrus and flowers. Flavor is mild malty with refreshing citric hops. A bit thin body, but quite a thirst-quencher.
