On tap at Hoppy Corner, pours a hazy bright golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out dank hops upfront, with citrus, light resins, and caramel. Flavour is well-balanced, with resinous hops, pine, some tangy citrus, and caramel biscuity malt. The hops come through well, with caramel biscuity malt providing ample backing. Very good.

On tap at Hoppy Corner, pours a hazy amber with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out earthy hops, with light resins, and bready malt. Flavour is bright, with lots of bitter piney hops, with bready malt and some resins. Bitter resins and pine on the finish. Good stuff.

33cl bottle from Artisan'Ale in Luxembourg, Luxembourg. F: big, white, long lasting. C: murky amber? Opaque. A: tangerine, orange, mellow tropical fruits, bit pine. T: medium malty base, very yeasty, tropical fruits, citrus, decent bitterness, bottle from the bottom of the batch because of murky and yeasty feeling yet still not totally bad, medium carbonation, ok.
