500ml bottle from Cornelius. Pours hazy amber, some floaters, thin white head. Aromas are pine, yeast, grapefruit. Taste is helluva bitter. Ouch almost. Needs a malt backbone to soften the bite, Impressive for 3.5%, but not well balanced.

Bottled, from Coop, Tyresö. Cloudy golden, mid sized head. Floral nose with citrus and minerals. Dry with light body and crisp mouthfeel. Elderflowers, citrus and lots of resin that lingers in a brutally bitter finish. Promising, but too aggressive bitterness.

Bottle from Cornelius. Hazy golden body with a medium off-white head. Steady carbonation. Light lacing. Aroma of pineapple, custard, sponge cake and flowery hops. Flavour of lemon sweets, grapefruit and orange pith. Dry finish. Medium body with an oily texture. Lively fizz. Outstanding, especially considering the ABV.

Hazy medium amber colour, small frothy white head, recedes fairly quick to a thin layer, fair lacing. Aroma malty, pineapple, grapefruit, star fruit, bit yeasty, spicy notes (pepper, ginger). Taste light sweet and medium bitter, citrusy, hoppy. Light to medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, lingering dry bittersweet aftertaste, medium to full bitter, peppery notes. Crisp and refreshing, good body for its 3.5%.
