Bottle split at L6, thanks to Kenny, 28/11/18. Hazed golden orange with a well presented off white head. Nose is grassy, orange peel, lemon rind, mellow hops, toasted malts. Taste comprises citric pith, toasted malts, caramel, floral notes, grass, faint pine. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with moderate hop bitterness. A real let down .... stuck in 3rd gear.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Kenny. Pours clear gold with a frothy white head. A bit faded, some ripe orange, piney bitterness, crunchy pale bread. Meidum bodied with fine carbonation. Resinous finish, some boozy warmth, crackery pale malts, honey. So so.

Level 6 Bottleshare. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, fairly dry, decent fine carbonation. Aged tasting malts, sweetish. Bitterish hops, little hop spice. Touch of floral tangy citrus. Little citric peel. Light spicy finish. Well there is plenty of hop spice here so I am assuming this is not an old beer, but given the hop profile - it is crushingly disappointing in terms of fruits and brightness. Drinkable but so disappointing.

Bottle shared at home, sourced from Kihoskh, Copenhagen - pours hazy orange amber with a white head and sticky lacing. Sweet malty and fruity with some notes of stewed orange, some dried apricot, squeeze of grapefruit, sweet caramel malty support, some piney and herbal hoppy action into the close.

65 cl bottle @ Timo A
Aroma has biscuits, gluey tones and some fruits. Flavour has biscuits, malty tones, menthol and bush leaves. This is far from fresh hops. No BBE info so no idea whether the bottle was fresh.

Pours clear gold into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Resin and pith aromas. Seeet caramel and bitter resin upfront turning to dry earthy resin in the lasting finish.

Fat på kapitelhuset Växjö. Klassisk ipa färgad nästan klar. Smakar blommor liite parfym som följs av relativt hög beska. God annorlunda Dipa i blommiga parfymerade stilen . Som vanligt i hop seriern så god men inte topp nivå. Nästan alla ligger på 4,0. Så denna.
