Bottled, brought from NZ by NoiZe. Clear amber color, short head. Aroma is very fruity, citrus, grapefruit, bit flowery, hoppy ofcourse. Very flowery, bitter taste, fruity of grapefruit and some pineapple, slight mango taste in it as well. Bit thin body though, but very strong and fruity taste. Nice.

Bottle. Shared by both papsoe and gunnfryd at two different occasions. An unclear, golden-orange beer with an off-white head. Hops, pine, some tropical fruit, beef-stocky malt and sweetness in the nose. Quite piney flavor with beef-stock, fruits and citrus. Full to medium body and a long and piney finish with oranges. Nice, pleasant, easy-to-like brew. (Same rating at 070608) (070510)

(Bottle 50 cl) Hazy, amber golden with a tall, dense and very stable off-white head leaving laces. Hoppy, slightly citrusy aroma. Medium body, fresh and fruity citrus flavours with a shot of flowers. The finish is distinctly bitter. 100507

Bottled. A copper colored beer with a huge bubbly orange head. The aroma is sweet and very hoppy giving it notes of grapefruit and spices - very floral. The flavor is quite sweet and with a strong presence of hops, that hits you right from the start at first with notes of grapefruit, which turns more spicy in the middle, before a very bitter grassy end sets in. Nice one.

Bottle. Cloudy amber color with a average to large frothy good lacing off-white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy hoppy, cascade, orange, moderate malty. caramel. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration well balance. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. Very nice ;o)

Bottle. HUGE thanks to Duff for bringing this to me, wouldn’t have dreamed of getting the chance to try this any time soon. Best before MAY 07 0834, is what it says, clearly on the label. Served in my duvel tulip on 11/10/05. Jaw-droppingly intense aroma. Surprised it comes from such an unassuming bottle. Fresh, juicy fruits with a smattering of juniper and other aromatic, fresh, green herbs. Ever so light citrus, just faint sweet tangerines and ruby-red grapefruits. Soft, sugary, light base malts sit on the edge of the tongue, supportive, but not bullying in the least. Deep, hazy-golden-amber appearance. Fine bubbles rising to create an off-white head that is retained at cover with spotty lacing. Plenty of sediment in bottle. Flavor begins with a light malt sweetness (honey, touch of caramel), a dry yeast note and almost a wheaty/oaty/barleyish grainy sort of flavor that I can’t place. Grainy, mildly sour (maybe munich malt) flavor sticks and some hop bitterness mixes with it. Hop bitterness clings to the palate, as does the malt sugar. As it warms, the mouthfeel stays perfectly tight and the texture does not turn watery. Spicy dill and grapefruit on the end. An APA to savor and sip. Exquisitely intricate expansive carbonation. No alcohol apparency. Fresh on draught this could prove to be positively stupefying.
