31/3/2018. Growler taster at Beautiful Beers, Bury St Edmunds. Pours slightly hazy golden colour with a lasting off-white head. Aroma of hop, tropical and citrus fruit, grass, caramel and very light herb. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, average carbonation. Subtle increasing bitterness in finish. Nice.

Schöne leichte Trübe, toller Sahneschaum, ordentlich zügige Perlung. In der Nase fruchtig, aber auch deutlich grasig, Baumrinde, moosig. Ebenso im Trunk, cremig, fruchtig, dann Waldboden, Kernobst, leicht bitter. Hohe Drinkability. Lecker Ding!

Golden colour with lasting head. Aroma and flavour have some tropical fruit. There's also a sweet sugary element and a hint of lemon meringue.

hazy pale yellow colour, moderate sized, quite stable white head; aroma and taste of pineapple juice, citruses and some grassy notes (maybe some slight dill in the taste, too); quite hop dominant and really refreshing APA; I like it

Pint can @ Tderoeck's pre New Year diner. Thanks Tim. Canned May 4th, 2017. Dorée/paille, col blanc. Arôme d'agrumes qui reste plus marqué, touche d'abricot et pêche avec un malté plus léger en retrait. Palais est sec, malté, pointe de fruits à noyaux, pêche, citron vert, agrumes. Petite douceur latente de malt, fini sec et citronné.
