An orange beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet grapefruity combined with notes of pine and caraway seeds. The flavor is sweet with a crisp toffee background on which are lots of hops and grapefruit notes. Nice.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of madsberg. Slightly hazy amber golden with a tiny, off-white head. Fat aroma of caramel, overripe fruit and aroma hops. Quite full-bodied with notes of overripe fruit and then a distinct, bitter finish. 290407

the cherry cuts the grapefruit and bitter edge and gives it a bit more of a fruity character, works well

Slightly hazy golden-amber colour. Massive, bright lychee and mango hop aroma with syrupy malts underneath. Well-balanced. The hops are strong, peachy, fruity, with a bit of mandarin. The malts are grain-crunchingly fresh pale and take the edge off the hop bitterness in beautiful fashion. Drinks bigger than it is, but that’s okay because it drinks well.

(draft) Crystal clear light amber body with off-white head, nice lacing. Aroma is medium sweet, pine, grapefruit, some caramel, metallic. Taste is medium sweet, pine, some grapefruit, caramel. Light-medium body that is surprisingly light for the ABV.

From the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 11/10/2007 Very fruity hop aroma. Golden coloured and very hoppy with a citrus flavour. Crisp and bitter lasting finish.
