Hazy copper pour, big frothy head.
Aroma of pine needles, soft citrus especially mandarin. Very juicy, medium mouth feel, soft carb. Great, green juicy hop finish, quite bitter and enjoyable.

From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Very resinous aroma with crystal malt, fruity notes, some orange, caramel, and big pine resin. Sweetish and firmly bitter flavour. Body is medium. Highly resinous in character, some more fruity tones would have carried this further.

Had this on draft at borefts, now bottle at home (keg was definitely fresher!). Pours a lovely amber colour with a sizeable head. Aroma is grassy, hoppy with lots of pine. Quite soft aroma. Medium body. Flavour is malty, with quite a bit of caramel, not sweet though. High bitterness, very much in style in that regard. Smooth and soft, with grassy and bitter pine flavours from the hops, also lots of herbal notes. Nice! Finishes bittersweet and dry, mostly bitter. I really like the flavour, but the aroma was much better fresh.
