Tap. Golden colour. Some fruity hops on the nose. The flavour is mostly about the hops - tropical fruits (pineapple). Has some bitterness.

500 ml bottle. Light brownish golden colour and crystal clear. Quite a lot of bubbles rising to the top. Throws a really tall white meringue head that sticks to the glass. Citrusy, mostly lemon, aroma with a gentle crisp hop background. Refreshing aroma. Distinct prickling hop bitterness in the mouth. The bitterness lasts a long time. Gentle malty body that almost balances the bitterness, but not quite. Perhaps a bit too sharp. A very crisp and very drinkable ale.

Bottle. Beautiful hazy pale orange/brown color. Medium, mostly lasting beige head. Strong and evident hop aroma. Earthy with notes of pine, citrus, herbs and flowers. Taste is fruity, medium sweet with a distinct hopbitterness. Lingering dry and bitter finish. Nice. (010707. Moved after split)

Bottled, 5.3% ABV. Clear, golden beer with a small, off-white head leaving nice lacings. Fruity aroma with pine and citrus on a malty background. The flavor is malty and fruity as well, with a medium body and a bitter and fruity finish. It also leaves a sugary feeling on the tongue. A refreshing beer. (061109)

Bottle at home ... Crisp clear orange ... sweet light malt nose ... matealic orange hops ... little cararmel and lots of fruit... tasty enough but no real depth.

Big shiny offwhite creamy head with larger bubbles. Light brown body. Sweetish nutty malt aroma with citric floral hop aroma. Sweetish, firm malty taste with a strong smoky flavour and nutty notes. Hoppy, watery, smoky, almost burnt, aftertaste. A bit one-dimensional, but good. (0.5l bottle. Rated 2006-11-11, moved after split.)
