Delicate floral hop aroma. A subtle, well balanced finish with good character. A pale golden beer, clear tasting, in a continental style.

Bottle: a clear golden colour with a rapidly fading white head and pleasingly clean citrus aroma; explodes in the mouth with a clean sharpness and citrus flavour, with a pleasant bitterness to fllow through.

Bottled (BBE 06/2007). Dark honey golden color, good white head. Aroma has oak and licorice. Slightly metallic malty but then flavor is salty and has licorice notes. Aftertaste is sweetish malty. Good and balanced, actually not blonde.

Bottle picked up in Sainsbury’s. Poured a very pale yellow colour, very clear and with bubbly white head. Aroma initially citric which was also noticeable in the taste. Found this to be crisp and refreshing but overall not that exciting.

[Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy orange beer with a light yellow head. The aroma is sweet flowery, while the flavor is very lemony and slightly malty. A very fresh beer - very easily drinkable, but a little too much lemon for me, for it to be great.

Bottle. Golden, lovely hop nose (cascades?) but then unfortunately not a lot else. Dry fairly intense hop finish but no real depth

Golden, slightly hazy colour. Thick, white head. Light hop aroma. An easy drinking beer with nice, hoppy citrus flavour and a hint of honey.

A slightly hazy orange beer with a beutiful white head. The aroma is very spicy and flowery, with notes of elderflowers. The flavor is sweet and very spicy - again elderflowers shines thru - the end is dry both from the spices and hops. A very refreshing beer.
