Bottle at Granite City. It pours clear golden with an average white head. The aroma is sweet, toasty grain, fragrant, floral, pear drops, boiled sweets and biscuit. The taste is crisp, dry, quite floral, straw, light spice, touch of apple, pear drops melon and biscuit with a dry finish. Light - medium body and fine carbonation. A pretty OK golden ale.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Slightly hazy, very light yellow beer. Bit lively, thin white head. Zesty, grassy hop smell. Flavour is... slightly disappointing. Tangy, lemony taste but it disippates into an almost watery nothingness quite quickly and only leaves a light, bitter aftertaste. It’s not bad by any means. It tastes nice but it’s disappointing that the flavour doesn’t last longer than it does.

0.5l bottle. This is a blurry golden-ish looking one, lots and lots of unfiltered particles floating about and it has a medium sized really bubbly just off-white head with a nice retention. It's really fruity - sweet on the nose! Like smelling a papaya really. Zesty fruitiness, lots of both yeasty esters and diacetyl, tropical juices that has been standing in the sun and fermented. Blood oranges and it's quite floral as well. A strange strange super fruity aroma. It tastes alright. Not overwhelming on the fruitiness, but it still has those sweet estry zesty tones. In the mouth it feels this oily, surprisingly considering the abv, and it's just below average on the carbonation. Low bitterness, but it has a grassy thing compensating a bit for all the sweetness. There is also a big amount of buttery diacetyl in this, Minerallish finish and aftertaste. Quite easy to drink, but way to heavy on the butter. 12.02.2014

Flaske delt med importør Willy, på brygga: farge og skum som pils, smaker dog litt bitrere og tørrere. OK tørstedrikk for 4,1 men engihet om at dette på ingen måte var minneverdig, så tørste var vi ikke.

Slightly hazy amber. Juicy, fresh c hop stuff with a mellow malt character. Really quaffable. Lots of styrians?
