44cl can from AbeerVinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours loaded gold, partially hazy, fine white foam. Aroma is citrus and herbal. Body and carbonation are average. Taste is well balanced, with moderate bitterness. Final is average in intensity, with some more bitterness.

Can 44 cl. Pours an almost clear golden with a rough, white head. Very faint citrus in the nose, and is that a streak of diacetyl? Medium body, lowish carbonation, very dry fruitiness and again that hint of diacetyl. Ends watery and bland. Not good. 270525

330ml can @ 4.3% from Micro Beer Crate, online. Light hazy gold with large white head, loads of retention and lacing. Looks great. Aroma of citrus, lime peel and resin. Decent hoppy notes. Taste is the same, nice citrusy hops to this with a moderate zesty bitterness in the finish with some light pine resin. Lacks a little in the malt backbone. Between light and medium bodied, refreshing. A lot to like with this.

A perfectly solid but unremarkable pale. Slightly hazy gold, white head, decent hoppiness to it and a nice crisp finish with a little zestiness. You could session this nicely though.

Third, keg, shared with Finn at Queens Crafthouse. Clear golden body, patchy white head, spotty lacing. Moderate aromas of citrus, hints of lemon. Moments of lemon and grapefruit to the taste character. A ending touch of citrus peels. Satisfying. (Doncaster 28.01.2020).

Delt med Rune. Gusjegrågul. Skumring. Aroma av tropisk frukt. Smaken det samme. Mest mango. Tørr avslutning.
