0.33l bottle. This is a really cloudy orange almost honey looking one, filled with a ton of floaters swirling in the body and a medium sized to small just off white top that's leaving some small lacings down the sides of the glass. What to say about the aroma? Well, it's not to hoppy. More yeast melony with a fruitiness, light spicy tones and a little bit of herbal banana. Strange and not completely mine thing. It feels light oily in the mouth and it has a below average carbonation level. Have to admit that I don't really fancy the way this tastes either. It's straight from the fridge, but it still tastes like the bottle has been standing open in room temperature for several days. Eastery yeasty flavors, peppery and just old in the taste. It's definitely not a bad bottle, it's just not completely mine kind of beer this. 21.12.2013

0.75l bottle. It definitely looks good in the glass this! A lovely warm almost glowing peach orange cloudy body with a huge great retention near everlasting and super lacing off-white head. Smells quite nice and inviting as well. Lots of peachy fruitiness with some piney hops and a little bit of bitter grapefruit zesty citrus. Nice. It has a quite thin almost watery mouthfeel and it's below average carbonated. Not as impressive flavors really. Quite thin and watery on the taste as well. Gentle grassy bitterness with watered down fruits. Really lightdrinkable but not sure the hugest flavor bomb. I'm sure this would be lovely in the hot sun. 29.12.2013

Bottle, 33cl. An almost clear one, some microfloaties, and golden in color. An off-white finger thick head sits on top. Candy and earthy hints on the nose. The flavor has overripe fruits, some sweetness and malty hints. Medium body, with a nice carbonation and it’s quite dry. A decent bitterness in the end. Sort of nice, but too boring for my liking. Would be sort of interesting to have the beers from this brewery fresh. 140110

Bottle, 75cl. Suspended microfloaties in this one, pale amber in colorand with a dense, two-finger head leaving lacings. The aroma has a citrusy-acidic and faintly milky touch, but it’s the hops that do most of the work. It’s bitter and fruity in the flavor, faintly acidic. Full body, dry and a nice but a bit high carbonation level. Bitter finish. Pretty nice this one, even though it’s clearly lightly infected. 140110

Bottle, 33 cl. It pours almost clear, with micro sized floaties. Golden in color, with a dense off-white head leaving lacings. Milky sour aroma with yeast and fruityness. The flavor more or less the same, with less milky sourness, and with some bitterness. Fizzy on the palate, medium body fullness. Some bitterness in the end. Seems to have been quite nice when fresh, but it certainly isn’t now. 140110

04.12.2013, 0,75l bottle (listed as 6,5%) @ home:
Big creamy longlasting head. Aroma is slightly fresh fruity, light malts, hops, lawn, grapefruit, leafs, hints of orange, citrus peel and pine needles. Taste is slightly harsh grainy, light malts, old hops, wet grain, wet leafs, citrus peel, bark, pine needles. Medium to longlasting bitterness. Nice enough, better than expected, still not a too fresh bottle I guess.
