Very hazy golden coloured body with a thinnish, single centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of light oranges and some mangoes with a clean wheat scent and some soft bitterness from the alpha acids. Medium-bodied; Strong wheatie flavours dominate with a good papaya and mango fresh fruit bite, but very clean drinking and simplistic flavours here and a slight bitterness and dryness at the finish. Aftertaste shows some very subdued sweetness from the fruits with a dash of bitterness and alpha acid bitterness here, but this is pretty clean and easy-drinking and relatively straight-forward and pairs decently well with some Chinese Food. Overall, not a bad option and not great, but right down the middle, as you would probably expect from this one, and while this isn't something to go out and try to find, I was happy to have this and relatively surprised that I had never sampled this one before. I sampled this twelve ounce can while eating Chinese Food at Dim Sum Palace in downtown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for US$6,00 on 04-February-2023 with my wife and three kids.

Can to glass. Pours clear olde gold with minimal white head that fades quickly. Mostly cereal with slight orange hoppiness. More grain on the taste than the aroma.

12oz bottle from Boise Co-op. Clear golden, thin silky white head. Fruity aroma, part citrus, part stone fruit. Taste brings forth bready malts, then stone fruit flavors. Tangerine comes in very late. Minor hop bitterness

Bottled. Goldeny amber colour with a small white head. Aroma is fruity, lemongrass, some herbs, mild spruce as well as some slight biscuity tones. Flavour is pretty much the same elements, but really fresh. Palate is a bit thin though.

A rather large can (1 pint and 3.2oz). Drank at our Air B&B in Temecula on 27th December 2022. Hoppy little number from start to finish; amber/orange, large white head. Good balance between the hop bitterness and the semi-sweet maltiness, liked it.

Bottled (Rådhuskällaren, Umeå). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is mildly lactic with some floral and mild wooden notes as well as a mild spicy/herbal touch to it. Flavour is very similar with the hoppy bitterness and herbal tones as well as some mild tartness staying in the finish. Almost on the verge to being watery.

(Bottle) Amber colour, slightly hazy, with frothy tan head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of resin, mandarin, orange, pine needles, mango, sponge cake and a touch of lemon balm. Fruity, malty, hoppy taste with orange, mango, honey, apricot marmalade, herbs and a generous citric/piney bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty, with a rich hop profile. Very nice.

Purchased at Total Wine in Tampa, FL; enjoyed on a cool post Christmas evening after a nice quick run. Rather good one here. Appearance is pitch black with moderate consistency and off white head. Aroma of bourbon, vanilla, chocolate, a bit of raisin, smells fantastic. Taste is heavy on chocolate with light bourbon and a light burn in the back end, overall really nice.
