On tap. Amber color with a white head. Aroma is fruity with hints of citrus, and grapefruit. Flavour is fruity and hoppy with some nice citrusy notes and lingering medium bitterness. Medium bodied, lots of small bubbles. Okay stuff.

Flaske: Flot gul let orange øl med et fint lille skumhoved. Duft af humle, blomster. Rigtig fin mundfylde med små perlende bobler og en god bitterhed i finish. Rigtig dejlig let lille øl. Mere amerikansk end engelsk.

Bottled. Pours out in a clear pale amber colour with a small creamy white head. Crisp hop aroma of mild grapefruit, gooseberries, crackers and mild peat. Medium-bodied with rather crisp notes of cookies, grass, raspberries and flowers. Mercury like mouthfeel. Medium-bitter finish of cookies, mild citric fruits,earth and grass.

Offensiv, pressar fram hela frontlinjen av smaker samtidigt. Bataljmålande subtiliteter, mycket att glädjas åt. Ingen himlastormande upplevelse, men en avgjort trevlig bekantskap - ännu en utmärkt IPA att lägga på minnet.

Inviting color, meduim head. Hoppy fragrance. Steady aroma with generous amounts of bitterness and sugar. A beer I can really enjoy.

13-NOV-2009, bottle @home. Very light clear golden with white head. Slightly bitter nose, but also sweet, and honey-like. BUT not a very strong nose from an IPA. Really dissappointing taste. This is close to a lager, and not flowery or bitter enough for my taste.

Bottle. A golden amber beer with a small off-white head that leaves fine lacings. Mild aromas of citric and leafy hops in the nose, coupled with notes of malts and butter and butterscotch. The smell fairly sweet with a nice bitterness in the finish. Quite refreshing, but obviously faded, citric hop notes, some light malt flavors and more butter and butterscotch. The finish has an off-centered mineral note to it and mild bitter hop notes. Moderate body and industrial-like carbonation - can’t go wrong with that, or can you? I’ve had this a couple of times and I get slightly more underwhelmed by it every times. Seems like it’s turning to the worse quite fast and it definitely gets less refreshing.
