Apr 21, 2009 Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. Hazy golden, rich firm head. Rich grapefruity hop aroma. Susprisingly dry with rounded moutfheel and above medium body. Intense shampoo-like bitterness sets in early. Feels fresh and drinkable, much due to it’s dryness. Very inviting. Intense, yet drinkable.

May 22, 2009 22oz bottle–pours a tight foamy off white head with some lacing and hazy gold color. Aroma is pine/lemon zest hops. Taste is bitter/raw-pine/resin/lemon zest hops, secondary light /medium malt-caramel. The malt can’t hold up to the hops bite though. Medium body. Good effervescence. Dry finish. Occasional. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for sharing.

Jul 10, 2009 Bottle… Mostly clear yellow ale with an orange tint and a mid-sized, frothy, off-white head. Good retention. The aroma is of intense, fresh lupulin; mainly of the grapefruit variety with a tinge of pine. Full-bodied and very creamy with tingly carbonation. If I were a total hophead, and I’m not, this is a beer that I would be totally gaga over. Hop-wise, this beer’s not fuckin’ around. The bitterness in here is Big-Time – Broadway – Vegas, baby! Even at room temperature, there is absolutely no discernable sweetness to squeeze past the bitter-as-hell hop oils that surround, coat and fry my palate. Just a hint of acidity. Lengthy, mouth numbingly bitter finish. Bottle courtesy of scraff!

Mar 27, 2009 Pours a transparent amber bronze with a stringy-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly sweet grainy pale malt and piny resiny hops. Body starts with decent fullness and semi-sweet toasty caramel and pale malt along with a grassy hop character before a slightly warming bittersweet finish. A pretty-well balanced beer, but could use a more resinous hop strain.

Aug 5, 2009 Pours amber with a lasting white head. Smells of citrus and yeasty. Tastes of sweet citrus, some grapefruit, some peppery splashes, caramel and a bitter, spicy finish. Surprising and good.
