22 oz. purchased at the local Whole Foods. I don’t know what drove me to purchase this beer, but I figure "what the hell?" Anyways, a nice thin head sits on top of this beer. It eventually fades away to a smaller almost non-existent head. Copper brown in color; this beer looks fairly decent. A fairly decent aroma of hops in this one. I was surprised by this, I was figuring there would be a lot more malts, but it is surprisingly hoppy. Not a very nuanced aroma, just hoppy, with some sublte malt sweetness i.e. a rather boring aroma, but still fairly pungent. Surprisingly hoppy as well. A very nice initial hop punch, with a very strong bittering hop that punches the back of my mouth. This beer has a subtle off-putting tea flavor, but it is VERY subtle. Hoppy beer with not a lot of malt action going on. Fairly straight forward, but not very interesting.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma has notes of malt, peaches, and oranges. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of straw and lemongrass, as well as medium notes of malt and peaches, leading to a very bitter finish. Refreshing. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Hazy deep blond color; small head. It has a nice cereals aroma and flavor, a quite good malt flavor too, and reasonable body; and of course strong bitterness, with quite a lot of hop oils. Not exciting, but a solid brew.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of TheCheeseMan. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Malt in the nose but also some perfumy hops. Medium body, sweet malts and an extremely harsh, raw and unrefined bitterness. Rather crude really. 220909

Golden with a lasting white head. Aroma of malt with a little honey sweet note. Malty flavour with a nice hop flavour and bitterness.
