330ml bottle. Hazy amber colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Resinous, piney and herbal hoppy aroma. Taste is dry hoppy, astringent, woody, resinous, piney, close to, but not really nutty, the same is true concerning fruitiness; slightly papery and chalky finish. Natural, crafty, somehow "bio" and/or "öko", but not really tasty.

330ml bottle drink-in at Sourced Market St. Pancras. Hazy golden coloured body. Fair, pearl white head, spotty lacing. Smell of citrus mingled with mid-sweet malts. Lemony hoppy flavours added by dried fruits and mild brown malts. Nice fruit bitterness to the finish, mid-dry. Medium bodied. Nice and refreshing (London 14.07.2014).

Lightly hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and slightly soft. Mild fine carbonation. Light caramel malts, little dry cream. Dried fruits and mild twangy bitterness. Little ripe orange in the dry finish. Not bad, bit flabby.

From London Beer Market and drunk at home. Black beer lasting tight beige head. Big rich proper coffee aroma. Like really good coffee. It’s lovely. I mean the coffee is perfectly integrated, base beer is fine, but it’s the coffee flavour that is out of this world. Bit under carbonated, but the flavour is outstanding. Rich smooth proper coffee beans. Excellent.

Bottle sample at a tasting a at Beer Market Jaffa. Thanks Tom C. Cloudy yellow-golden. Lovely fruity hops aroma with a bit of yeast. Dry flavor with lots of "green" and fruity hops and nice refreshing bitterness. Rather light-bodied. Really good and extremely refreshing.
