Tight foamy white head on an ultra foamy golden coloured body. Juicy aroma of mango, pineapple & tropical fruits. Medium to full bodied, smooth, soft & clean on the back. Melon, pine, resin, nectarine & mango tastes with a bitter hoped up grapefruit finish. Banging.

Draught from Verdant Bar, second day at Bryggerifestivalen ' 23. Hazy golden-yellowish body, declining white head, rings of lace down the glass. Inviting citrus nose, scent of tropical fruits. Hop fruity flavours, citrus, herbal hops, and juicy oats. Ends mid-dry with soft malt-fruity bitterness. Nice and tasty. (Trondheim, 04.08.2023).

440ml can. Poured a murky yellow golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, stone fruits, light tropical citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a smooth, malt, light herbal, light tropical citrus, warm, slightly boozy alcohol bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Nice, but the alcohol is starting to dominate at the expense to those flavours trying to get through.

Can. Hazy gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin malts, but quite sweet, even without the dextrose. A thin dry creamy sweetness. Hops bring a light crispy pine. Mild yellow grapefruit but a little sweet. Mild orangey citrus on the back end. Light finish. Too sweet for me, not enough hop bite to balance the malt sweetness. Very glad this was sans dextrose.

Taste is stewed hoppy fruit, oniony hop juice, grapefruit, pineapple, orange peel, mango, tropical fruit, breakfast juice. Clingy bitter finish. Quite rich. Very good.
