Sampled on draft this beer poured a bright yellow-gold color with a medium sized soapy white head that left good lacing. The aroma was tart and bitter with vague fruity hops and a bit of sugar. The flavor was tart, bitter and thin with some lemon and yeast. Medium length finish. Medium body. Meh.

Bottle. Pours nearly clear amber with airy off-white head. Mild but clear aroma of malt and fruit, with notes of hops and yeast and touches of needles. Bitter, hoppy flavour with sweetish notes of yeast and malt and notes of needles. Rough aftertaste with estery and mildly bitter notes. The best beer of the brewery’s hop series but still far from the ideal.

Bottle. Pours nearly clear amber with airy off-white head. Clear aroma of hops, fruit and yeast, wuth mild citric touches. Citric flavour with bitter notes of metal and hops and fruity and malty touches. Estery and acidic aftertaste. Drinkable but a poor example of the style.

Bottle. Pours clear amber with stable off-white head. Clear aroma of malt and yeast, with notes of hops and fruity touches. Sweetish flavour of malt and fruit, with notes of caramel and yeast and some rather mild, bitter, hoppy touches. Estery afteraste with fruity touches. Drinkable but nothing really special.

Pours a light golden-amber colour with a foamy off-white head, decent lasting with a little lacing. Fruity nose with some mild grass, bread and caramel. The taste is not as hoppy, but the flavours of oranges are felt. Hints of sweetness from the caramel malts and some bread in the finish. A little tea lingers. Not a bad brew, goes down nicely when cold. Interesting hop this celeia, but not something to go back to a lot. Refreshing and not too dry.

Pours clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has notes of malt caramel, hint of herbs and pepper. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter with a long malty, caramel and herbal finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Can. It’s a clear, golden beer with a small, off-white head. The aroma is rather malty, with caramel and bread, as well as a fruity, piney and grassy hop touch. The flavor has some bitterness, but bready, caramel-ish malts dominates. Some pine cones, grass and grapefruit too in the flavor, with a lasting finish. Full to medium body with a soft carbonation. Too subtle on the hops and too malty this one, but a decent one anyway. 150616

Pours clear deep golden with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, caramel, orange and floral. Taste is medium sweet and light to medium bitter with a long caramel, orange and floral finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Can. A clear, dark golden beer topped by a small, dense, off-white to light beige head. The aroma is weak, quite malty, with bread and some caramel notes. Fruit caramel orange style too. There should be more bitterness I think, as it’s too bready on the palate, medium to full-bodied and semi-sweet. Some orange zest and a fruit caramel hint as well. Medium length orange and bread finish. A decent beer, but it’s too focused on the malts and not enough on the hops in my opinion. 150615
