Murky amber yellow with a good 2 cm head relatively persistent. Floral, grassy on the nose. Bit nondescript watery in the mouth. A small malty herby hit up front but falls away to nothing quickly, leaving a faintly oaky, woody, papery aftertaste with a but if lingering bitterness. I get no fruits or grapefruit as it says on the bottle. Disappointing but not utterly bad.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear golden with a rich, white head. Very subtle aroma, more malt and caramel than hops. Medium body, fruity with a raw and extremely crude bitterness. A perfect example of what an APA is NOT. 140917
