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.

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

22 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is dry pinewood and peachy to apricot hoppy. Solid fruity and dry flavoured. Vague malt base. Distinct fruity hops flavoured bitterness into the finish.

Bottled. Orangeish golden colour, small slightly off-white head. Aroma is hops, grains, some mild spicy and herbal notes. Flavour is quite strong fruity and grassy hops along with some mild grainy and earthy notes. Semi-dry palate.

Looks really nice in the sunlight. Dark straw with low head. Aroma of herbal hop, lots of rich pale malts (biscuit) and a little bit of peppery alcohol. Firm body - well balanced mix of herbal, earthy hops, biscuity/baguette malts and peppery alcohol. Very well crafted.

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.
