330ml bottle, many thanks to ManVsBeer for this one. Bright golden-brown body, stable pearl white head. Laces well. Inviting smell of leafy hops and bread. Tasty with impact of pine, mango, leafy hops and distant malty sweetness. Rounded bitter tail. Clean in the mouth. Well made version of the style (shared at a rating session with djoeye and Finn, Tromsø 31.01.2018).

Bottle thanks to LKS. It pours clear golden with a thick foamy white head. The aroma is soft, fragrant, orange sherbet, kumquat, candied orange peel, hay and grass. The taste is crisp, dry, bitter, soapy, pithy, zesty, rindy citrus fruits, grainy, bit of spice and earth with a drying finish. Medium body and average carbonation. A bit soapy and grainy on the taste. Aroma is better.

Light to medium sweet flavour with further pale grain character, orange peel, piney bitterness. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with some spicy pine, more citrus rind, dried pale malts. Not too bad. Better than expected.
