Can. An almost clear, orange-golden beer, topped by a finger-thick off-white head. Peaches, flowers, pinecones and some maltyness in the aroma. Sure on the hoppy side. The flavor is much the same, not much room left for the malty flavors. Full-bodied and quite dry, finishing with a fine, resiny, hoppy bitterness. Another lovely canned beer, but maybe a bit one-dimensional. Good refreshing qualities in addition to be very tasteful. (090327)

Can. It pours an almost clear, a bit pale golden body, and a white head of moderate size. The aroma has piney, grassy hops balanced by malt and some beef-stock. Full-bodied and sweetish with flavors of citrus, fruits,a good dash of pinecones and a lasting bitterness. Lasting, bitter and hoppy finish. Easy to drink, really pleasant straight forward APA.
