(Draught at Man in the Moon, Stockholm, 16 May 2022) Hazy golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of tropical fruit, citrus and bread. Malty, fruity taste with citrus, peaches, apricots, orange, pine needles and a balanced citric/piney bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Rich, tasty and well balanced, with a good hop presence. Very nice.

440ml can bought at Vinmonopolet City Nord. Pours a bubbly, white head leaving clingy lacing on the glass, hazy golden body. Juice fruity scent, citrus up front. Flavoured with mandarin and orange, background of juicy oats. Bittersweet fruity, semi dry close. Well bodied. Pleasing. (Bodø Panorama 03.04.2022).

Flavour is malty, sweet, oaty and very smooth. Fruity, lots of lemon, orange, grapefruit, lime, some pine, passion fruit and mango. Very drinkable and smooth, very nice. Excellent, different but not better.

440 ml can, from Être Gourmet, Belgium. ABV is 6.8%. Cloudy golden colour, moderate white head. Distinct aroma of pine and spruce, also citrus and tropical fruits. Refreshing and slightly sweet flavour with the same elements, but the bitterness is low (maybe too low).

Keg tap from the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Bright gold, hazy with an uneven white head. Mango, butterscotch, a touch of pine, a touch of soap. Sweet taste, some more tropical fruit with mango to fore, some butter - not in a 'hote golde' way but sweet, sugary pat of cold butter. Long finish with bitter hoppy notes. A confused beer - 10 for originality but a bit less for execution - although I certainly like it.
