50cl bottle. pours with a small white head. Cloudy yellow with some citrus fruits and a pleasant hoppy flavour. A light, despite its abv, refreshing beer, possibly better suited to the summertime- still waiting!

50 cL bottle. Pours slight cloudy orange yet clear and with a small creamy off white head. Citrusy fruity and hoppy aroma. Mild salty and ctrc to dry acidic hoppy base flavour with mild sweet hoppy note. Dry and bitter fruity finish. Delicate to fraquile.

Pour is a hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma is sweet malts with a decent fresh pine hop. Flavor is again decently hopped with some citrus fruit and a little earthyness. Crisp and refreshing is how i would describe this beer. I like it!

Bottle from John’s Marketplace, in Portland, OR. Orangish color with a frothy white head. Aromas are citrus, but more like a tangeloe than an orange. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor starts nicely bitter with orangey zest and some roasted caramel. Finish is just bitter. Hops seem somewhat spicy. The bitterness builds with time. A very good ale.

Bottle from Belmont Station in Portland, OR--Poured a golden orange body with a thick whitish head. Nose of citrus oranges, lemons, and herb tea. Sticky berries and tangerines alongside some lemon character. Grassy, fruity, piquant hops. This beer was very tasty and refreshing!
