Not bad overall. Some candied citrus peel, pale bread, pine needles. Moderate bitterness. It grew on me as I drank it.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Hazy golden body with a which off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of orange, peach and grapefruit. Flavour of candied orange, white sugar and orange barley. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. This is good but a touch too tangy/sweet.

From a 355ml can on 11/5/2025. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a substantial head. The nose features lots bright citrus, particularly zesty lemon. Taste i totally citrus focused with loads of orange, lemon and lime, leading into a bitterness featuring lots of citrus zest and pine, with a touch of resin also. Has a silky mouthfeel with average carbonation definitely more west coast than east coast, but there's enough fruit in there to understand what they're getting at. Interesting, good.

Gul tåkete med hvitt skum. Lukter sitrus, grapefrukt og noe blomster. Lett. Fruktig, middels bitter. Smaker grapefrukt, barnål og lys stenfrukt. Middels lang.

Can. Cloudy orange, 2cm white head. Citrus peel, breadcrust, grass and light pine aroma. Almost delicate palate with a lightness and slight softness to meet the more familiar SN flavours. Light bread, mixed citrus peel, some pine. Fairly bitter. Pretty good.

Aromas are a blend of citrus, resin and malt. Flavors are similar to nose and on the dry side. Just enough sweet and bitter to balance. A hint of MJ in there also. Good body and a touch soft carbonation. Good but not great.
