Bottle. Hazy yellow, looks a bit like a hefe. Not much head from my pour (I left the yeast sediment in the bottle). Aroma is the lemony side of citrus. Light-ish body, properly carbonated. This really tastes like fresh grapefruit juice. Not the bitter stuff that’s sold in cartons, the fresh stuff with only slight bitterness. Fruity and mild, but maybe not beer-ish enough.

Bottle. Vinous aroma, some bread, old fruit. Cloudy yellow colour. Small white head. The flavour has the same old fruit as the aroma, but it is tolerable. Wheaty flavour, a little vinous. Old white bread. Some pepper in the finish.

Bottle. Look: Yellow, hazy. Light head. Smell: Citrus, butter, fruit. Taste: Bitter orange, hops. Overall: This is a laid back, but still a very special brew. It’s got some touch of HOTD magic that i really can’t define.

Bottle thanks to Explosivebeer. Poured a hazy orange color with white head. Aroma is citrus and hops. Taste was Hops, Pine, slight bitterness and a little bit of spice. Texture was a little light and kind of boring. Just ok.

Bottle thanks to BrewDad. Pours a cloudy apricot color with a medium white head. The aroma is full of piny hops, some light fruit and malts. The flavor is dominated by a initial pine hop, some fruity peach flavors, light soapy hop finish. Very easygoing and nice.

12 oz bottle at Pikkulintu, Helsinki. Deep golden color with small head. Sweetish and fruity aroma with notes of mango and petrol. Bittersweet flavor with toffee and mango-petrol hops. The hop aroma and flavor is somewhat masked by sweet toffeish malt. There could be also more hop complexity. This bottle did not taste very fresh.

Bottle from Khioskh. Hazy golden without any head. Fresh aroma of hops and grapefruit. First a light malty taste that goes into a crisp citrus taste.
