Bottle from Epsom Circle Market, Epsom, NH. Aroma began a little bit fruity and hoppy with a smidge of pine and by the end of the glass it smelled a bit like laundry. Pours with a small white head with good retention and lacing. The liquid itself is a bit hazy with an orange gold color. Taste is medium bitter. Palate is medium bodied with average carbonation and long mildly bitter finish. Overall, very drinkable with some interesting features but not a killer beer.

35cl Bottle from drankgigant.nl. Clear golden colour, white head. Aroma is light malty, crackers, floral hops, light lavender, some light caramel malty sweetness. Flavour is light fruity, malty, some honey, tiny hint of toffee, floral hops, light earthy, light bitter finish. Light bodied. More like a golden ale than APA to me, but nice nevertheless.

Pours pale gold into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Sour citrus and caramel aromas. Dry with sweet caramel and dough upfront turning to citrus in the medium length finish.

Sampled @ ChrisO after GBBF day 2. Clear golden color, small white head. Aroma is malts and hay. Taste malts, hay, straw, bitter hops, bitter. Basically a very bitter pilsener. Decent body, high fizzy carbonation.

Pale with a rocky head. Dull hop aroma. Comes across more like an IPA. Long bitter finish, sometimes astringent. Yes, finish is astringent fer sure. Long lasting mouth ruining finish. Ifd you like IPA, gotta try this, its terribly on style for an IPA.

Bottle from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours translucent gold with a white head. Aroma is lightly fruity and citrus. Med body or nearly. Flavor is odd. Quite bitter. But it’s like the malt is providing the bitter, not the hop. Not getting the promised grapefruit. And if the malt is roasty, I’m missing that too. Still bitter is good, so I’m drinking it. How does it finish? Bitter! Dry too.
