Can. Fairly cloudy golden amber with a dense off white head that fades to a bit over a cm but never disappears. Aroma of oranges, peach, vague tropical fruit bound up in a creamy way. Light but still slightly chalky texture with carbonation on the low side of medium. Lots of fruit but it struggles for definition. Moderately bitter at an end that's really just a continuation. After a while more complex Citra notes emerge - more citrus flavours: floral, pithy, herbal and sour as well as bitter. Good but a little clumsy.

Very good lightly yellowish head, rather dense, making textbook lace, over not very carbonated copperish orange beer. Instantaneous waft of fresh hops, citrus, mango, passion fruit, green herbs upon opening. Getting a bit cheesy later, but also adding nectarine, peach. Ultra dry, very chalky, almost lupulin dust, hints at peachskin, bitter(ish) almonds. Tart from the hopoils, but not very-well bodied, low carbonation. Not totally convincing - too unidimensional, verging dangerously on the chasm of dullness. Nothing wrong, but the not very outspoken carbonation intensifies the dullish impression.

Pga Coronakrisen kommer naturligvis Mi2 ikke på tale, men vi greier oss med MobpF (Mandag om bord på Fridtjofen)! 0,44 boks fra statens helsekostsjappe i Straensenteret, delt med skibsrederen: lett uklar gylden med tett skum som varer forbi siste dråpe. En smule ufrisk humleprofil - overmodne frukter av ulike slag og halvvisne urter, men allikevel en fin markør. Slightly dank hop profile, but very tasty nevertheless.

Can from Bottle Baron. Hazy golden body with a white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of orange and grapefruit. Flavour of bay leaf, lemon drops and marmalade. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. Gipsy Hill are an excellent, underrated brewery.
