An unclear orange beer with a dying white head. The aroma is very powerful with notes of pineapple, grapefruit, and wheat. The flavor is sweet with strong fruity notes - especially pineapple and grapefruit, leading to a dry bitter end. Nice one.

(Bottle 65 cl) Slightly hazy, pale amber with a tall and lively head. Fresh, lightly grapefruitish nose. Medium body with an excessive carbonation. Lightly sweet malt, distinct notes of citrus and a solid bitterness. Not your typical Double IPA. 080107

Bottled. Cloudy golden, rich but faint head. Rich hop aroma of peach and lychee. Medium sweet with solid body. Dominated by aromatic hop flavours - grapefruit,lychee and sweat. Malt only backs it up. Long very bitter finish.

Bottled. Hazy yellow colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruity, caramelly, mildly alcoholic as well as nectary. Flavour is very grassy, hayish and yeasty. Bitter finish and aftertaste. The aroma was lovely, but as for the flavours, I got quite dissappointed.

Murky straw colour. Citric, earthy, woody hop notes. Hints of diacetyl and big hops. Moderate bitterness. Piney, leafy character. A balanced example.
