[Sampled at DØE-festival with Helga, Søren and Anne, Århus 2008.] I like the bitter style and thisone is a good example. Hazegolden and offwhite head. Notes of grass, orangefruits, hops, freshness and with a dry bitter finish.

Bottle at Ealing beer fest. Aroma is amarillo hops, small nutty malt character aswell as pale malts, some dusty yeast. Taste is balanced malts and typically amarillo hop. Good stuff.

Bottled (BB 04/2009)
Amber color, small white head. Fruity but also dry hoppy aroma with horseblanket yeasty notes, which I slighlty disturbing. Medium bodied. Sweet fruity Amarillo hoppy (peach, passion fruit, pinewood) flavor with lots of aromatic nuances. Pinewoody and tropical fruityness in the aftertaste. Quite good malty backbone for 4.5 % beer.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of fonefan. Slightly hazy golden with a small off-white head. Delicious and somewhat peachy hop aroma. Medium body with light caramel notes and a dry and very aromatic bitterness from the Amarillo. A very delicious session beer. 190608
