An unclear orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with quite a lot of hops, as well as a good fruit presence. The flavor is very fruity with notes of mango, oranges, peaches, on a sweet background that also includes notes of caramel. The end is dry and bitter with a slight dusty touch.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a hazy pale golden with a thick, white head with good retention. Aroma of yeast and banana. Rather light body - I never would’ve guessed this to be 7.3% ABV. Fruity and fresh with notes of yeast. Some sulphur in the finish. A decent wheat beer, that’s what it is. 300406

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Cloudy golden, firm head. Aroma of orange and coriander. Sweet, yeasty and fruity. Medium-full bodied with dense, lightly spritzy mouthfeel. Citric and minerally. Yeasty bitter finish. Full flavoured, but just a bit edgy.

From tap. Pours hazy orange with a lacing white head. Delicate citrus and grapefruit hoppy aroma. Milky like flavour, seems off. Flavour is a mix of intense hops bitterness, aroma hops and milky lacto note. Off, yet pleasant.

Bottle, 7.9%. Slightly citric and spicy aroma. The flavour is a lot like aroma, only more fruity. After a while, the citric flavour gets better and better.

Bottled@SBWF2007. Hazy orange colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is wheat, earth and some spices. Flavour is very much the same, but fruits and slight yeasty notes are also there.
