Slightly cloudy orange with a white head. Citrus, sweet toasted malts, a bit of orange. Medium bodied. Finish has medium bitterness with a fair amount of citrus bite. Solid drinker but nothing special.

Deep brown but very much brown and not black. Foamy tan head. Deeply toasted malts, bright citrus, light coffee, a bit of flora, nutty. Medium bodied. Finish has citrus and roasted malts. There is a balance between the roasted notes and citrus but this skews very light overall for this style of beer. It’s a nice and easy beer.

Can, thx Hrabren! Shared with Ogi. Hazy yellow-golden body, off-white head. Oxidized aroma, lychee, citrus jelly, herbal touches... not too pleasant. Smooth, light, dry taste, citric, herbal, spicy, I can see this being quite nice when fresh but... it's not.

Old notes from Nov 2014 - Bottle brought in Kinsale by my wife. Pours a amber colour with a small head. A citrus aroma and floral hops. Taste of hoppiness which becomes quite dry towards the end. Overall a nice pint, one which I'd have again.

Bottiglia. Un arco olfattivo dominato da luppolo e da agrumato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e la maniera in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il mantello birroso superiore è destinato a vita breve. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è fine. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Sul tetto della bocca arrivano note di miele, frutta secca, luppolo, agrumi, pompelmo e mango.
