0,44 boks fra Mossy Well via min importkoffert, hjemme: uklar gylden med fint skum som varer lenge. Citrusfrisk med tilleggstoner av aprikos, fersken og furunål i en flott og velsmakende maltkropp. Velbalansert bitterhet i avslutningen, og jeg er ett nytt bryggeri nærmere mitt mål om 3000 før 75.

Can. Hazy yellowish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied but fairly sweet pale malts. Crisp cooling pine. Savoury skunk, touch of soap and, a little bitterness contrasts, not in a good way for me, with the bold Sabro pineapple and coconut. Nelson skunky grape in there as well. Certainly full of hop goodness but, for me, the synergy between the hops is a little discordant.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of nectarine and lemon sponge. Flavour of peach and mango. Medium body Ruth a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Mosaic, Galaxy and Nectaron - what a hop combo. This is like biting into a ripe peach.
