"A light and refreshing beer. A surprisingly full mouth-feel with a superior balance of malt and hop, and a rewarding fruit finish."

Bottle at ÅBF08. Teaish hop aroma. Hazy yellow colour. Small lacy white head. Mild flavour, some hops. Gets a little green apple.

Yellow with a lasting white head. Aroma is malty and fruity, including a note of pear. Sweet and fruity, rather boring flavour.

Århus2008. 50 cL bottle. Pours slight cloudy yellow with a lacing white head. Mild spiced hoppy aroma. Flavour is light hoppy and with a mild breadish note. Medium dry and bitter. Light citric and breadish finish. Refreshing and uncomplicated.

Bottle @ Aarhus, 2008.
Pours pale hazy golden with a small, creamy white head. Aroma has a little ’wet dog’ character, good grassy hops and a slight smokiness. Okay mouthfeel. Flavour has a little washing powder feel at first, but then turns okay malty, biscuity with a good dry hoppy finish. Okay.

Golden with a low head, but it leaves nice lace. The aroma has notes of malt and flower. The flavour is sweetish in a nice way, and it has notes of fruit, flower and roasted malt, and the finish is rounded by honey like sweetness. There is a lot of flavour in this only 3.8% beer!

Bottle: Golden coloured, mid-sized lacing white head, light fruity (citrus)-malty nose with a distinctive hoppy touch; light to medium bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied; sweet-flowery-hoppy finish, a bit lingering, with a fruity-zesty touch. O.K., refreshing and clean.........
