Bottle at home. Aroma of citrus, tropical fruits, grapefruit, some peach, grass, hint of bready malt, fresh hops. Flavour is medium to heavy bitter. Body is light to medium, on the light side which makes the beer very sessionable indeed. Very fruity hoppy and refreshing, I dig it.

Tap at the brewery. Pours light bright gold with a creamy white head. Aroma is fruit, citrus/pine. Near med body. It’s crisp. Flavor is citrus somewhat obscured by mixed tropical and stone fruits. There’s an amazing, yet sort of simple, complexity. Hop wise. Quite bitter. So dry it’s almost astringent. Good stuff.

Il gusto al naso va sul luppolo. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la continuità olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta, è persistente e voluminosa. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. La carbonazione è abbondante e vivace. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è deciso. L'intensità gustativa è elevata. La costanza gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono luppolate. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sulla lingua si depositano sentori di miele, frutta secca, luppolo e agrumi.

(Bottle) Golden colour with big, frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of lemon, pineapple, mango, white bread, honey and some resin. Fruity, hoppy taste with citrus, lemon peel, pineapple, honey, white bread, crisp grainy malt and a generous citric/resiny bitterness in a dryish finish. Medium body, mainly dry but with a slight sweetness. Fresh, tasty and highly drinkable. Quite nice.

Bottle from Terre de Boissons Calais and drunk at home. Clear gold lasting thick white head. Tastes fresh. Good light citrus hoppy aroma and flavour. Oh this is very good indeed. Loved the hops. Big hops but not so much as they go over the top. Peach and white stone fruit flavours and lemon. Some bitterness. I thought outstanding.

Heller und trocken fruchtiger Antrunk. Blumig, mittelstarke Bitterkeit. Zwischenzeitlich etwas wässrig, meistens ist der Hopfen aber vordergründig. Süffig, nett. 10/9/11/10/8/10
