(Bottle, Ölbaren, Copenhagen, 25 July 2008) Pale amber colour with firm, creamy, beige head. Fruity, floral nose with notes of orange, mandarin and caramel. Very fresh aromas. Fruity taste with mandarin, orange, hints of caramel and balanced doses of citrussy hops in the finish. Fairly thin body, but perfectly balanced and very fresh. Very nice beer.

Bottle served in a plastic glass at Zum Biergarten, Copenhagen. Rocky, white foam leaving great laceworks on the glass. Slightly hazy, dark amber body. Nice floral aroma. Succulent oranges in flavour also with hints of grapefruits and a touch of herbs. Dry bitter finish. Smooth mouthfeel (30.05.2008).

Bottle. Slightly sweet hop aroma. Hazy light copper colour. Very small head. The flavour has a caramelly and slightly flowery hopppiness. Not powerful, but OK hop level. Pleasant bitterness, slightly above medium. Simple but good.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber color, with a medium foamy white head. Sweet-ish aroma and flavor. A solid pale ale, but nothing special here. Flowers and a touch of pine hop. Not offensive and I certainly would not turn it down, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to get some.

Clear copper with a off white head. Aroma is of flowery & piney hops with a malty (quite sweet) appearence. Again certainly well balanced - perhaps even a bit too sweet. Caramel & hops... OK..

Hazy light amber beer with a small white head. Subtle aroma dominated by peach and apricot, and som caramelly, toasty malt. The malt also dominates the medium sweet flavour, balanced by enough bitterness, and a good deal of hop flavour

Bottle. Orange yellow with thick head. Faint fruity aroma. Flavour of malt and some hops. Mild finish. To be drunk cold on a hot day like today
