500ml bottle from Drinks of the World, Winterthur, snuck into a gig and drunk from the bottle. Big tropical fruit and pine aroma. Taste is bright & fruity with grapefruit, lime, lemon rind and pine needles. Very good IPA.

Bouteille 50cl de Coop, Moudon, BB 30/04/2015. Orangée brumeuse, col crémeux blanc. Arôme est malté, houblonné avec un bouquet au effluves prononcées de grains concassés rappelant un peu le moût. Palais est malté, cara pâle, note de moût, houblon rappelant un peu le côté US avec un léger citronné, fruité une once d’herbacé et un petit rappel de pamplemousse. Ok mais manque ce petit qcq chose pour rivaliser avec ses consœurs américaines.

Cheers Mat, shared on 23rd Aug 2014 at the Midlands meet. Good amber hue to the body, with a bit of an off-white head. Nice blend of aromas and flavours, caramel front with a citrus overtone throughout which gave a dry and bitter finish. Certainly the best beer I have had from Switzerland so far in my drinking life.

Bottle shared at chriso’s May 2014 tasting - London. Pours clear brown with a frothy beige head. The nose holds lightly tangy dark malts, cocoa and wood. Moderately sweet with fine dark malts, earth, burnt wood. Medium bodied with mild to average carbonation. Earthy finish with all-around dark malts, burnt pine, chocolate. Fine.

Final bottle at the inaugural Midlands Bottle Share @ Richie’s Hop Palace. Courtesy of myself, bought from Drinks of the World in Winterthur. Pours deep amber with frothy white head. Surprisingly hoppy taste, vibrant citrus with a bracing bitterness. Despite the comments below I quite liked this.

Tasting at the ever gracious ChrisO’s. Lightly hazy deep amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry. Fine carbonation. Light papery malt, little bitterness. Whisper of dark chocolate. Dry papery finish. Too papery and bland.

Bit flat version of an American pale ale. Thin body of malt, with some mild hopping. Needs more power.
