Aus der Dose, für den Stil in der Nase außergewöhnlich fruchtig. Im Trunk crispy, fruchtig, Zitrus, mittig itchy, nach hinten bitterer werdend. Süffig. Sehr sehr lecker, astreines Sommerbier.

Can 355ml (Mikkeller webshop, no BB date)
Hazy orange colour, good white head and lace. Aroma has wet dog, fruits and light citrus. Light-bodied, quite watery actually. Citrus, resin but flavours are very mellow. Even a bit bready. Ok with food but otherwise too simple. Maybe can is a bit old? Whose knows, but someone left (or removed) BB/canning-date from the can ...

Can@Himmeriget, Copenhagen - orange Amber pour with white head and lacing. Citrus fruity with notes of grapefruit and orange, peachy accents, juicy notes, some pale malty support, medium to light body, lift piney hoppy bitter into the finish. Good stuff.

Can from Beercraft. Medium golden, small foamy head subsides to skin. Light grainy, fruity aroma. Taste approaches like a lager, and then brings in enough hops to raise this to an APA. Damn smooth. Mildly sweet. Extremely drinkable.

Bomber from 'Old Town Liquor' Temecula. Drank on 23rd Dec 2017. First two pours were a clear golden colour, sediment arrived on the third, so a cloudy finish; head a white affair. Tropical fruit aroma with a slight pine twist, taste also fruity with a citrus leaning below the light malty front. Decent.
