Bottle at home in London - picked up at Kris Wines. This one opens with quite a hiss and then, not surprisingly pours with a large, frothy white head. The beer is clear, orange gold in colour. The aroma holds some lightly dried out citrus fruits, minerals, sun-kissed grass and pine. Light to medium sweet flavor with dry, doughy and lightly grainy pale bread, some pithy citrus, hints of tangerine and grapefruit, straw. Light bodied with lively, prickly carbonation. Pithy and moderately dry on the finish with restrained piney bitterness, further pale, dry doughy malts, tangerine rind, light grass. Not bad overall. Pretty drinkable.

Flaske delt på dag 2, RBHD-samlingen hos Asle Bjørn: lys gylden med hvitt skum. Frisk humlearoma med citrus og de obligatoriske "tropiske frukter". Slank og god smak, og 3,8% er akkurat passelig for et fotballøl. Kan gjerne gjentas.

Flaske delt på dag 2, RBHD-samlingen hos Asle Bjørn: slow gusher. Lys gylden med hvitt skum. Aroma og smak minner om tannskyll (mynte, salvie). Tørr bitterhet med pepper. Grønnsaker? Den mangler noe for å være en god saison. Endimensjonal.

Flaske delt på RBHD-samlinga hos Asle Bjørn: højt skum og flott utseende! Aoma med blomstersødme, citrus, grønne epler og gjær. Stram smak som snerper på tunga. For besk etter min smak, den intense bitterheten blir stående for seg selv. Vammel beskhet i ettersmaken, kombinert med overmodne appelsiner.

Shared 330 ml bottle at local tasting. ABV is 3.8%. Golden colour, moderate white head. Nice aroma of spruce, pine and tropical fruits. Dry flavour, light bodied as expected, well hopped for its strength, pine needles and grapefruit. Bitter finish.

Clear golden. Small white head. Fine aroma of grape fruit, citrus and tropical fruits. Similarly fine taste. Well balanced with good drinkability. Quite dry mouthfeel.

Shared 330 ml bottle at local tasting. Golden colour, large white head. Nice perfumed aroma of tropical fruits, a hint of solvent and mint in the background. Minty flavour with peppery and dry hops, also pine needles and hints of tropical fruits. Not quite there.

Slow gusher. Golden. Dense white head. Aroma of flowers, sage, citrus, tropical fruits, mint and washing-up liquid. Similar taste, combined with lime and pepper. Rather carbonated. Dry mouthfeel.

Shared 330 ml bottle at local tasting. Hazy golden colour, large white head. Lovely aroma of American hops - notes of pine, citrus and some spice. Effervescent mouthfeel. Very hoppy flavour throughout, but not an optimal balance with the malts. Still a good beer.

Slightly hazy golden. Dense and persistentoff-white. Fine aroma of lime, grape fruit, orange marmelande and white spices, unfortunately with a slight hint of yeast and green apples. Similar taste. Good aftertaste. Not in the top league of IPA.
