Bottle. Amber beer with a cream colored head. malt and light earthy aroma with light citrus. Pine and earth flavor with light citrus and caramel. Medium bodied. Some bitterness. Earth and caramel lingers with citrus.

Nice slightly hazy golden bronze coloured body with some orange highlights, a nice one-centimetre tall off-white head and some super small bubbles rising from the bottom - not many though. Aroma of fresh light hops (low a.a.), some good caramel, a touch of malt and some light apricots. Light-bodied; Sharp potent hop flavour at first, but that only lasts for a second or two, then the malt touches for a second, then fades with a mild sugary sweetness. Aftertaste is slightly bitter, but more malt and caramel comes through than anything else. Overall, a decent beer, but not enough hops to be potent, and more of an APA than an IPA. Still, great to try, and worth sampling if you are an American on this side of the world. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Slowbeer in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia on 31-December-2009 for A$5.50 sampled back on this side of the world in Washington on 04-May-2010.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and grapefruit. The flavor is sweet with notes of grapefruit, leading to a dry and bitter finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Light amber, white head that fades but leaves some lacing. Caramel malt, citrus and resin hops. Fruity sweetness, grapefruit sourness, bitter finish. Medium bodied, fairly low alcohol for the style. Plain, but nice and well-balanced. Perhaps a bit much grapefruit. [3.5] Tempora mutantur (et nos hoc nunc hebetes).

33 cL bottle, courtesy of Papsoe. Pours hazy orange with a diminished white head. Mild citrusy hops aroma, vague malt presence. Sweet and citric bitter hops flavoured with a mild caramel malt base. Smooth. Light carbonation. Bitter and fruity finish. Clearly a subdued malt base.

Bottle, 5.0%. Slightly spicy hop aroma, some caramel, slightly rough. Hazy grey amber colour. The flavour is less interesting than the aroma. Has a little caramel and perhaps a faint hint of spicy hops, but is a tad boring.

Bottle 33 cl. Slightly hazy amber golden with a small off-white head. Lightly oxidized aroma of caramel and citrusy hops. Medium body, lightly sweet caramel and a dry and hoppy finish. 291108

Draught at The Malthouse, Wellington. Clear deep golden. Spicy hay-like hop aroma. There’s plenty of malt sweetness and a clean, solid mouthfeel. Underneath I find some crystal malt flavour, but the hay-like hops still dominates. Long, dusty bitter finish.
