In the bomber bottle from Coit Liquors in Northbeach SF. Slightly opaque copper with a large beige head. It’s as though someone ground up one of those pine tree airfresheners for cars and mixed it in the beer. Delightfully srong aroma and flavor of grapefruit and juniper. A slash of orange and tootsie roll chocolate blended into the thick palate. Long tongue gouging bitterness. Delicious.

Another from Skyview. This beer has good citrus hop aroma. Flavor is well balanced by very sweet malt and more hops, leaving a light hop burn. Gold color. Very good.

Draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Pours out in a hazy amber colour with a low lasting sticky white foam. Bright and really hoppy aroma of lychee, flowers, orange-peels and grapefruit: Medium to full-bodied with notes of pine-needles, grass, grapefruit with sweetish undertones of tangerine. Clean mouthfeel. Long bitter finish of grapefruit and resin with touches of peppery alcohol.l

Bottle from acknud, the hopmaster. pours an orange color with a nice white head. Aroma is full of citrus, floral and pine hops. There is some nice malt and honey notes in the nose as well as some tropical fruit. Flavor is very, very hoppy. Citrus and pine hops hit the tongue followed by a nice smooth delivery of malt. Very, very well done. Hop heads will approve!

Bottle. Rich amber beer with a reddish hue and a nice light beige head. Huge grapefruit and pine aroma with some tropical fruit (pineapple) underneath. Resiny, grapefruit flavor with rich malt backing and a bit of caramel. Full bodied. Hops linger. Some alcohol present.

Pours a hazy orange color with a thin white head. Superb flavor of pine needles and citrusy hops. Solid flavor of pine needles and citrusy hops with a strong bitter finish. The body is light to medium with a liquorous texture and gentle carbonation.

Bottle@LCRBM08. The aroma is hoppy with a lots of fruitiness (aprikot). Hazy, orange coloured with an off-white head. The taste is heavy hoppy with citrus and aprikots. Bit one-dimensional. Nice one for the hopheads.

Pours with a small, creamy, off-white head covering a cloudy, deep orange body. Aroma of spruce, grapefruit, rotting fruit, and brown sugar. Taste is immediately bitter malts followed by a bild up of hop bitterness that, over the long duration, finishes clean. Slight alcohol warming noticable immediately. Creamy mouthfeel with lively bubbles. I would like to see a bit more balance in the form of some added malty sweetness.
