Draught at Ølbaren, Copenhagen
Hazy blond color; generous creamy head; they really know how to serve the beers here (5 on 5 today are perfect).
The aroma is very nice, and quite original; well hopped, of course; the hop is mainly citrusy, with plenty of aromas from hilly forests, elderflowers, acacia flowers (robinia in Italy), sap of freshly cut wood.
Agile body, toffee and dry malt flavor, with hints of crispness; dry, no sweetness left; quite strong but not excessive hopping, with a lot of resins and hop oils, very citrusy, some grapefruit, with a touch of elderflower.
Pleasantly bitter, aromatic and long final.
Very fresh impression from this brew, also for the relatively low alcohol; winner of the Spring!

On tap at KØ-10. It pours a clear, golden body under a small, off-white head. The nose is quite weak, some malts in the back, but the citrus dominates. Pale malts and citrus peel hops in the flavor, some bitterness too, all the way. Some resiny flavors too in the finish. Medium body, quite dry. Maybe I’m spoiled, but I think this one was too boring. It drinks easy, but it’s not a beer to remember. 100507
