Draught at the brewpub. Deep golden. Grapefruit hop aroma. Sweet with plenty of hops. The malt is there, but isn’t noticed. The hops OTOH are very much in your face. There’s grapefruit and licorice. Lingering very bitter finish.
(To give English speaking any idea how silly it looks when a letter like "Ö" is used in the wrong place I suggest that they rename the beer to "BIFRQST".)

Hazy amber colour. Only a light pale malt note to balance a grapefruity, lemony, peachy hop character. Fairly hoppy flavour with lots of bitterness, grapefruit and apricot. Late alcohol.

Slightly hazy orange body with minimal off-white head. Aroma is floral and slightly citric hoppy, sweet and slightly fruity. Sweet flavor up front, turns solid floral and grapefruit hoppy in the back half of the throat, leaving a solid grapefruit bitter aftertaste that’s somewhat sweeter than usual. Good body.

Pours a transparent bronze golden with a spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of fresh, lightly grapefruity hops and a hint of toasty pale malts. Starts fairly full with a decent pale malty sweetness and earthy bittering hoppiness. FInishes crisp and bittersweet with a decent malty flavor throughout.
