Bottled. An unclear golden beer with a huge orangey head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt and citrus. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of straw, citrus, and grapefruit, but the body is thin. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

3 oz. sample at brewery. Golden pour, persistent white head. Big citrus aroma, flavor bitterness upfront but soft on the finish. Light-med body, medium-full palate. Very nicely done IPA.

Thanks to Bob for the bottle! Poured clear light-medium orange with a creamy eggshell head. The aroma picked up oranges and floral over a subtle caramel base.. soft and well-balanced. The flavor had caramel and pale malt at the core with orange, pine, and floral bitterness around.. the hoppage lost a little character at the finish, but it was still solid. Medium-bodied, well-balanced, and refreshing.. definitely a pleasant surprise!

12 oz. bottle, courtesy of Skyview. Pours a hazy, gold color with a fluffy, thick white head. Nice aroma of citrus hops. Flavor is really balanced. Nice hints of caramel malt and piney bitterness. Some tea notes as well. Lightly bitter finish. Very nice beer, glad to have a chance to try it.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Skyview. Pours a hazy golden amber with a tall and lively off-white head that leaves lumps of head - shaving foam style. Hoppy aroma of pine and grapefruit. Medium body with some caramel but otherwise completely dominated by a distinct piney bitterness. 180808

12 fl oz bottle. Pours murky orange with a hige off-white head, quite lively when opened too. Orange to grapefruity hops aroma. Flavour is nicely hops grapefruity with a mild spice note and a smooth, mild yet present caramel malt presence. Lingering hoppy and light spiced finish. Quite dry hoppy.

On tap at the brewpub. The body was hazy dark copper with a light kahki head. The aroma was strong grapegruit with some hazelnuts. The taste was nice full grapefruit with some almonds and bread crust. A Nicely crafted IPA.
