does not count  Oct 4, 2008 Aroma is resinous, gum and retsina - definite green hop versus many Mikkeler citrussy blasts. Appearance is great - clear darm amber colour, nice lacing. Great head, but little staying power. Nice balance of astringent hops and underlying sweetness on the palate with a clean, fresh lingering aftertaste.
Very good.

Oct 2, 2008 Hazy amber-orangeish hue, with a beige head, mild toasted malt, fruity nose of candied peaches, apricots and orange peels, with a nice floral hop pineyness, with some coniferous, cedary aromas follow through on a medium-bodied palate with a toasty, biscuity malt, fruity orange, resinous flowery hop character, with some good, piney, coniferous, cedary, leafy bitter accents, with a hint of mintiness too, and some lime, lemon zestiness,leading towards an intense leafy, coniferous, hop bittering finish.

Sep 28, 2008 Golden-orange in colour with a long lasting creamy off-white coloured head, some light lacing. The aroma is quite hoppy, very fresh, some pine, citrus and grapefruit. The flavour is juicy, plenty of hops, lightly acidic at times, moderate bitterness. Hoppy mouthfeel, medium body, medium/light carbonation. Finishes lingering, with a citrus bitterness, dry.
Quite refreshing, an excellent summer pale ale. Not over done with excellent balance.

Sep 24, 2008 500 ml bottle. Pours a hazy orange with a thin, off white head. Piney aroma with hints of sweet caramel. Flavor is nice and hoppy. Earthy notes with a malty backbone. Clean, dry finish with just the right hint of bitterness.
