330 ml bottle, from the brewery. ABV 4.7%, IBU 29. Malts are pale, Munich, caramalt, crystal. Hops are American and NZ, not specified. Yeast is California ale. Deep golden colour, large white head. Aroma of freshly cut pinewood, resin and grapefruit. Soft mouthfeel. The flavour is moderately fruity with hints of tropical fruits, making the beer very drinkable. Hints of pine and grapefruit in the finish. The bitterness could with advantage be somewhat higher. A decent beer though.

330 ml bottle, from the brewery. ABV 4.7%, IBU 33. Malts are pilsener and carapils, hop is Hallertauer Mittelfrüh. Pale yellow colour, large white head. Pleasant aroma, some sweetish malts, floral and herbal hops. The flavour is neither too sweet nor too dry, moderate herbal hops, some disturbing yeasty notes. All in all not too bad for a new brewery.
