Blind tasting at Papsø’s
Muddy dark amber color; big creamy head. It has a very nice American hop aroma, with fruits (cedar). Good smooth mouthfeel, caramel flavor, just the necessary sweetness; strong hopping, flavorful, resiny and fruity. Very long final. Not original anymore, but surely very pleasant for hop lovers with a touch of sweetness.

(22oz bottle, thanks CaptainCougar) Medium beige head atop hazy mahogany body. Aroma is moderately sweet, grapefruit, orange, some mango, chocolate. Taste is moderately sweet, grapefruit, caramel, some chocolate, plum. Medium-full body, light acidity, fairly smooth.
