Citrus and apple aroma. Citrusy, fairly hoppy flavor. Some vanilla. Just a bit dusty. The citrus and hops dominate. Dry hoppy aftertaste. I like it a lot.

A golden ale with a thick fluffy white head. A light malt and peppery hops, very pleasing in aroma. In mouth, a crisp malt with nice peppery hops, quite interesting. Medium bodied. Tasted around Jan 2007.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a slowly collapsing and chalk white head. Light fruity hops aroma, mild pineapple/peachy note. Mild peachy flavour. Light sweetend and with a mild lingering fruit note. Light bitterness and fruity note into the finish. Quite refreshing brew.

Bottle. Gold with a minimal head. Fresh aroma of hay and floral hops. Flavour of summer fruits with a hoppy, bitter finish. Not bad.

Bottle, 5.0%. Hazy yellow colour, small white head. Good and nice hop flavour, grassy and spicy hops. Slightly high carbonation, but nice and palatable.

Bottle: Slightly hazy, smaller, lacing white head, summer-golden coloured; fruity (strawberries !) and resinous floral hoppy nose; robust bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; spicy, citrusy finish with some floral hops in the aftertaste. Great taste, great beer......
