Bottle shared on the 42nd floor - thanks to Fergus. Pours clear gold with a dense, frothy white head. Great aroma, lots of vibrant citrus, melon, tangerine, papaya. Light to medium sweet flavor with some piney bitterness, minerals, pale and grainy bread, citrus rind. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly resinous on the finish, with strong grassy bitterness, pale bread, more rindy citrus. Good stuff.

12 oz bottle. Aroma is doughy, peachy, tropical fruit, minerally. Pours bright golden with a medium white head that leaves a little lace. Medium level bitterness with a nice tropical peachy hop profile. Alcohol is damn near completely hidden for an ABV approaching Imperial territory. A little thin maybe. Good stuff, though.

Poured up on tap at Mikkeller Bar in SF where it exhibits a clear deep gold body that supports a near white head of foam. The aroma offers up floral hops, grassy hops and then a slight sense of citrus banging around in the aroma’s backyard. The taste delivers smooth soft, nay – pillowy – floral hops, a dash of mango juiciness and then some bitter grapefruit like citrus hops. This is easy drinking to the point of being dangerously drinkable.

50cl bottle pours out with a clear pure deep gold body that supports a near white head. The aroma offers up mango and pineapple and some spicy onion hops with a nice mildly sweet maltiness in the background. The taste delivers juicy mango hops with plenty of spicy bitter onion dank hoppiness creating a tasty balance. To midway it picks up a nice grounding earthy tea sensation that takes this a little deeper and a little yummier.

Lightly hazy gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry with good fine carbonation. Smooth pale malts, light creamy sweetness. Hops are pithy and mildly spicy. Modest tropical fruits underneath light pine. Semi dry finish. Hop spicy linger. This bottle is at least 6 months old so it has held up well.
