Can, 0.473l. Aroma is citrusy, tropical fruity, resinous and floral. Pours cloudy dark golden color with medium sized soapy off-white head, good lacing and sparkling appearance. Taste starts medium sweet malty and resinous, following is ripe tropical fruity, citrusy and faint medicinal, mouthfeel is rather dry, while finish is moderate bitter. Medium body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. FiftyFifty shades of hops…

Tap, taphouse Munich. Hazy golden. Light peach cheesecake, higher alcohols. Light sticky, a bit pine and stonefruit. Feels a bit old and a bit unclean.

Beer No. 2 in my flight of beers at the brewery tap. Deep golden to orange colour, slightly hazy. Well hopped throughout in aroma and flavour, predominantly citrussy notes, also moderate pine, but not too bitter. A well made APA, the way I like them.

Gold with a frothy white head that lingers. Aroma of apricot, pineapple, lychee. A “sweeter” aroma than typical for the style. Taste is modestly bitter the whole way through. Dry and crisp finish. Easy going and pleasant.

Tap at Craft Hands. Light amber colour, big off-white head. Aroma is citrus hops and slight graininess, lots of grapefruit too. In fact really smells like grapefruit juice. Taste is bit twiggy, nice bitterness, grapefruit again, and more citrus too, orange and lemon. Decent maltiness too. Hints of cat piss but that's fine by me.
