Ambar anaranjada con dos dedos de espuma. Agradable aroma frutal, floral, naranja. En boca francamente sabrosa, muy equilibrada. Amargor sí, pero contenido, poco para lo habitual del estilo. Predominante en todo caso, y muy agradable prolongando el aroma, pero a la vez balanceando con dulce malta. Cremosa y suave en el paladar. Me gusta.

Hazy golden color with a fine white head. Flowery and malty aroma. Ok body and an ok balance. Caramel, malty, fruity and mild hoppy flavor. Nice and easy drinkable ale.

500ml bottle. Minimally cloudy, orangey golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Slightly citrusy hoppy aroma has a lemon touch, hints of gooseberry, some apple, a cautious grassy touch. Taste is slightly fruity hoppy, notes of gooseberry, a touch of apple, pale malty background, subtle sweetness. Quaffable and quite refreshing, not overly intense, though.

Flasche von Töpper, Berlin-Moabit. - Orangegelb, fast klar. - In der Nase angenehm herb-fruchtig: Orangenschale, Honig, zartes Karamelmalz. - Im Antrunk enorm herb-fruchtiger englischer Hopfen: Orangenschale, Heu, deutlich bitter. Fruchtige Ale-Noten, ganz leichte Süße, aber nicht die störend breite Süße belgischer Ales. Karamel konnte ich bei dieser Hopfenattacke kaum feststellen. Mild rezent. Kräftig gehopfter Abgang mit Grapefruitschale und Gras. Langer, gut bitterer Nachtrunk. - Sehr angenehmes, trotz der beträchtlichen Bittere süffiges Bitter.

(bottle conditioned) Hazy, golden colour with a medium-sized and slightly off-white foamy head. Juicy (cara-)malty aroma with notes of biscuits, backed by mildly citric and zesty hops. Mildly bitter and slightly sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Slightly biscuity malty taste with hints of caramel, accompanied by grapefruity hops. Lingering into the quite rounded malty and hoppy finish. 19.IV.14

Flaske 0,5l fra Vinmonopolet, Tromsø Langnes. Drukket i Skibotn 16 Mar 14. Gyldenbrun. Litt uklar. Pent skum som varer en god stund og etterlater seg kniplingslacing. Aromaen er aprikos & litt blomster. Smaken litt syrlig frukt med underliggende maltpreg. Avslutter tørt. Moreish.

500ml bottle conditioned, from Vinmonopolet Tromsø Langnes. Crystal clear amber coloured body. Hazy last pour. Frothy white head, laces well. Smell of leafy hops and caramel malts. Well blended flavours of mid-sweet malts, grapefruits and resin. Prolonged, dry malt bitter ending. Medium bodied. Fresh and nice to drink (Tromsø 05.04.2014).
