[Cask at Stockholm Beer Festival 2003] The aroma is very hoppy with grassy notes. The color is a hazy orange and it has a beutiful foamy head. The flavor is nicely bitter with fresh grassy and oily notes - on a background of soft sweetness. A great fresh beer.

Bottled. Cloudy orange, mediumsized head, lacing. Very strong hoppy aroma with "earthy" hints. Very hoppy bitter taste, but also "earthy" (mouldy) taste. Wellchosen name for the taste. Not much aftertaste.
