Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of straw and hops. The flavor is sweet matly with notes of grass, hops, and fruit. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of bu11zeye. Hazy golden with a dense off-white head leaving a neat lacework. Fresh citrusy and peachy aroma. Medium-bodied with sweet malts and caramel and a very distinct bitterness all the way through. 311008

RB US-CA#300: 22 fl oz bottle, courtesy of Papsoe. Pours hazy orange with a huge white head. Dense hoppy and peachy aroma, classic So-Cal and inviting. Smooth and fruity to a light bitterness in the flavour. Dry apricot note and dry yet also fruity hoppy flavoured. Hoppy and dry malty into the finish. Smooth.

22oz bottle. Acquired in trade. The pour is a nice amber orange with a thin layer of white lace on top of the beer and on the glass. Aroma is fresh resiny hops. That’s all I smell. Very fresh and the taste was what I was hoping. Really satisfying biting hops up front, then lightly sweet malts followed up by the bitter bite on the sides of my tongue. This beer is chuggably good.

Bottle. [Tasting session @ Papsoe, 31-10-2008] Huge thick creamy head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Hazy golden color. Aroma of grapefruit, apricot, floral, grass, caramel, grain. Over the palate came almost herbal, grapefruit, sweet fruit mix. Medium bodied with an average carbonation and dry texture. Moderated sweet and bitter flavor. Lingering dry bitter finish.
