On tap at Seattle Winter Beer Festival 2014, pours a clear amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out perfumey notes, some vinous notes and light tartness. Flavour reveals notes of red wine barrels, some subtle tart cherries, and wood. Some light medicinal notes, but overall, quite nice. Decent BA aksel.

On tap at Seattle Winter Beer Festival 2014, pours a near-black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out vanilla bean ice cream upfront, followed by a touch of cocoa. Flavour is really nice, with notes of vanilla bean ice cream that dominate - not really getting any of the cocoa. This is like a vanilla bean ice cream in a beer. Really enjoyable. I loved it.

On tap at Tomato Street. Pours clear golden with a thick off-white head with great retention. Aroma is piney, slightly floral, peachy--pretty muted. Taste is kind of bland, too. Chalky, lightly bitter. Tastes and looks more like a hop-forward blonde ale. Not bad, but kind of disappointing for No-Li. Post rating thoughts: grassy, grainy, nice lacing.

Bottled@SBWF2014. Bumping into mr bolagshataren by the OT stand is never a bad thing, especially if you have a piece of paper and a pen with you. The man spreads joy and happiness and is always willing to share some sips of the beers he has got. In return he gets pleasurous bad humour and beer. So the beer itself pours a king of goldeny orange colour with a small white head. Aroma is rather fruity and floral with some bready and sweet malts. Flavour is fruity and floral along with some citrus freshness. Interesting and well made "noble hop" beer, which was quite different from what I expected.
