Lattina. Il gusto al naso resta attratto dal fruttato. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido offre una visione offuscata. Il colore è giallo dorato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è intenso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, frutta secca, luppolo, un accenno di resinoso, agrumi, ananas e pompelmo rosa.

330ml can from Beer52 as part of St Patrick's Day box. Dark gold, small tight white head. Aroma malty, orange, grassy, edge of citrus. Taste is semi sweet malts, bitter hops, tangerine, grassy, some resin. Light to moderate body, fairly high carbonation. Packs a decent punch for a session.

Bottle, 4.0%. Dusty aroma. Almost clear golden colour. Small frothy white head. The flavour is ok, caramelly. Probably would have been sweet had it not been for the watered down notes.

Bottle. Pours clear golden with stable white head. Clear aroma of yeast and citrus, with notes of yeast and hoppy and malty touches. Bitter, hoppy flavour with mild touches of fruit and malt, as well as estery and citric notes. Dryish aftertaste with hoppy notes and touches of yeast. Not bad for the style, just rather anonymous.

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours partially opaque gold, with limited fine white foam. Aroma is citrus and a little tropical. Body is a little thin, with very moderate carbonation. Taste is moderate in bitterness, and doesn't cover much else. Final is also a little weak. Overall, a little too light.

Picked up by Nikita: pours blonde with white head. Aroma is perfumey, floral and lightly grainy. Taste is slightly bitter, fairly dry. About what I expected.
