Bottle courtesy of Wickedpete: Poured a deep golden color ale with a nice foamy head with good retention and some nice lacing. Aroma of crisp dry hops with some light bitterness. Taste is a nice mix between some crisp hops with light bitterness and a medium sweet malty body. Full body for the style with some good carbonation. Very refreshing and well balance for the style.

Nice strong golden coloured body with a very thin slightly-off white head. Aroma of fresh yeast, malt, coriander seed and a tiny bit of honey. Full-bodied; Very strong yeastie flavour with malt and a good dose of sugars behind. Aftertaste shows plenty of malt, yeast and curacao - a bit of honey and some light nuts also show through. Overall, a decent but slightly strong and overwhelming trip. Good to try, but I’d recommend another trip over this one. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in San Franisco (4th Ave), California on 9-February-2008.

Bottled. Somewhere between deep golden and pale amber, firm head. Striking lychee aroma. Full bodied and very sweet. The attempts at balancing the vast amounts of hops results in excessive sweetness,and it feels a bit sticky. The lovely hop flavour fades out into an inky bitter finish.

75 cL bottle, thanks to thewolf. Pours hazy orange with a dense white head. Mild pine and grapefruity aroma. Flavour starts with a sweet caramel with a nice fruity note before a solid bitterness is building up along nice sweet notes towards the finish. Nice.
