Smells of good malt and fine noble hops, dark amber, with a small off-white head. Flavour is a spicy malt, hops add a nice level of bitterness. Full bodied, a zingy mouthfeel.Terrific example. Thank You Radek Kliber.

Dec 11, 2008 I tasted this beer before I got my account with ratebeer, so I can’t really remember all the flavors.

Dec 6, 2008 Bottle. Yellow. Big white head. Smells citrus hops. This beer is sweet of citrus hops and quite easy to drink but it is also very bitter.

Dec 6, 2008 750ml Bottle at Sorbon in Bromma, Stockholm.
Huge compact head! It tastes like a cross over between an american IPA and a pilsner, lots of citrusy hops. I wouldnt have guessed that the alcohol was that high from tasting it.

Dec 3, 2008 Bottle. Aroma moderately sweet and fruity, very hoppy. Hazy orange golden body, huge thick fluffy white head. Sweet fruity flavor that develops into a nice hoppy bitterness with a crisp finish. Excellent and tasty.

Nov 20, 2008 Poured into a snifter. Muddy opaque goldenrod color with a medium-tall off-white head that leaves a film of fine lacing.
Fresh-cut pineapple aroma, pungent mango, peach juice. Some herbs and grass too.
Flavor is pale malt with orange marmalade, grains, and a bitter finish. I’m not getting hardly any noble hop spiciness like I expect from a pilsener. Tastes sort of like an aged DIPA.
Mouthfeel is nice and dry, maybe a little low on carbonation, some alcohol warming.
While this isn’t a bad beer, the thing I like about pilseners is the noble hops cleanness and crispness, and this beer seemed mired in tropical fruit flavors. Upon checking the ingredients, I see that this beer is hopped with Cascade and Amarillo. Doesn’t really make any sense to use zero noble hops and call your beer a pilsener. Stylistically this beer is way off, but hedonistically it’s pretty good.

Nov 18, 2008 This orange ale poured with a nice beige head and a fruity caramel malt aroma. The flavor is bread and caramel with exceptional hopping that produced a mouthful of delicious bitterness. There was a nice lacing along the inside of my glass right to the finish.

Nov 18, 2008 Bottle from Binny’s Beverage Depot in Orland Park, IL. It poured a clear golden amber body with a HUGE rocky head. The nose was sweet and grainy with a light floral/grassy hopping. It tasted of sweet pale malt, grainy, with a light hop bitterness that was boosted by the obvious alcohol presence. Not bad, but a bit too smooth for the European Strong Lager style that it’s listed under.
