Narangi

Flaska från SB. Smak och doft av tropisk frukt som mango, ananas, grapefrukt, citron, mandarin, apelsin, vete med toner av litchi. Otroligt smaskig, juiceaktig, lagom sötma, viss syrlighet,rena smaker i god kompott, fin beska med smak av grapefrukt och granskott. Mycket gott!

Bottle. Hazy yellowish with a medium sized head, dissipates slowly leaving slight lacings. Aroma is big and tropically fruity, pine, citrus, mango as well as pine tree notes. Taste is juicy, nice combo of juicy fruity notes paired with hoppy bitterness, very good balance. Medium body with light to medium carbo.

Bottle from Systembolaget and sample at All In Beer Fest. Pours very hazy, pale yellow with white head. Juicy, hoppy aroma with equal amounts of pine needle, mango, orange zest, citrus and a bit peach. Big, hoppy taste with all the similar notes. Hop juice at it’s best.

(330ml bottle from SB, batch 036) Pours light to medium orange with a moderate fizzy white head that fades with spotty lace. Aroma is quite fruity with tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, undertones of mango, lychee, backed by leaves, light pine needle and cracker. Flavour is crisp fruity hop juice, lead by orange and grapefruit flesh and peel, peach, light pineapple and mango notes, some leafy hops, lightly sweet with light to moderate bitterness and persistent orange juice and peel in the dry, slightly mineral finish. Medium bodied with a crisp feel enhanced by moderate, prickling carbonation. Despite the tropical touches there’s a lot of citrus dominance to this beer, juicy but with good peel bitterness. Compared to its sibling GBG ’16, this is less pungent and full, but great nonetheless.

Sample at SBWF 2016. Hazy golden with a white head. Fresh and hoppy with citrus, mango and some grass. On the sweet side with a bitter finish. A solid one.
