Bottled@SBWF2011. WOW. Golden colour, small head. Aroma is bready, rather hoppy with some grass, grains and yeasty notes. Flavour is grains, rotten vegetables and some grassy hops as well. This beer has exactly the kind of hopping I can’t stand in a beer. Really not my thing.

Sampled at SBWF 2011. Draught. Almost clear, amber liquid with small off-white head. Hoppy aroma with notes of honey, gooseberries, grapefruit, mango, tropical fruit and light caramel malt. Lots of Nelson Sauvin. Taste is dry, medium to high bitter and quite malty for the style. Medium bodied with good carbonation. Nice, drinkable APA.

Bottle at SBWF, October 6, 2011. Hazy amber with a medium white head. Malty and rather sweet aroma and taste with some citrus and bread. Medium mouth feel. Drinkable but not that exciting.

Bottle at SBWF, October 6, 2011. Slightly hazy amber with a medium head. Good fruitiness on this one and with a balanced bitterness. The finish was dry. A descent APA.
