| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 6, 2009 Bottle, 33 cl. Amber coloured, hazy in the glass. Big creamy head, nice. A bit peachlike aroma in the nose, a bit herbal, full aroma, yeasty. tastes bitter,like an IPA indeed, but a bit sweety, and yeastilike dustiness. Not much carbonation. Finish is good. It’s a full-bodied beer but the balance is a bit far away, maybe too much yeast? Otherwise the score should be higher. gunnfryd (3593), Kristiansand, Norway

Lovely boozy hops on the nose, grassy, grapefruity & orange peel aromas. Nice citrus fruit sweetness, lemon sherbet & grapefruit, moving to piney, resiny bitter notes, some spice and a dry, slightly yeasty finish.
