A little hazy, yellow/orange coloured. Aroma is a little sour, but most fruit, dominated by pineapple. Taste a bit malty/grainy. A good beer.

33cl bottle @ Boysen, Odense. Pours hazy yellow with a creamy white head & lacings. Nose & taste is of yeast & fruits such as orange & citrus. Lively carbonation. Medium bodied. Warmth and vague hints from/of alcohol which is noticeable. A bit one sided nevertheless enjoyable!

Bottle, bought &#64; Pivni Gallerie, Prague.<br /> Pours a clear yellowish golden, with quite a lot of small particles. A small, frothy white head. Nice yeasty aroma, lots of oranges, pineapple and biscuity malts. High and lively carbonation. Flavour is nicely fruity with apples, oranges, light lemony zest and pineapple. A firm, yeasty note as well. Refreshing.

330ml bottle from Beers Of Europe. A hazy orange beer with a lot of yeast sediment. Hmm - quite thin and dry for a 9% beer - certainly fully attenuated. Not exactly tart, but leaning in that direction. Mousy, soft carbonation. Muddy flavours - messed up yeast with some slight orange zest. Not sure what to make of this - it’s certainly drinkable, but there’s not a lot of interest or character and certainly few pleasure points. But it’s not bad, it does work in its own way, and there is some interest. It’s like a saison heading toward a lambic, but not getting there. The 9% alcohol is totally wasted - the same sort of texture and flavour could be created under 5% - even under 4%. Difficult to give this any sort of decent score - but it doesn’t deserve a really low score either.
