Sampled at SBWF 2011. Draught. Almost clear, amber liquid with small off-white head. Hoppy aroma with notes of honey, gooseberries, grapefruit, mango, tropical fruit and light caramel malt. Lots of Nelson Sauvin. Taste is dry, medium to high bitter and quite malty for the style. Medium bodied with good carbonation. Nice, drinkable APA.

Bottle at SBWF, October 6, 2011. Slightly hazy amber with a medium head. Good fruitiness on this one and with a balanced bitterness. The finish was dry. A descent APA.

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 30 Sep 2011) Amber colour with frothy, beige head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, grapefruit and hints of pine needles. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, crystal malt, grapefruit and a resiny bitterness in the finish. Medium body, quite dry. Nice one, and a very promising first brew from this brewery.

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Hazy pale amber, brief head. Minty black currant aroma. Dry and crisp light and fresh. Light grainy malt, hoppy and elegant with Nelson Sauvin shing through. Balanced bitterness. By far my favourite fro this brewer.
