Mar 7, 2006 Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a small somewhat lasting foamy off-white head. Wonderful aroma of citrus hops, pine and enough caramel malt to balance things out. Juicy flavour follows the aroma and is very well balanced though not as bitter as the name would suggest. Medium bodied. A simple beer but a joy to drink, it’s so flavourful. Definitely one of the better ESBs and a great session beer.

Nov 6, 2005 Bottle. Pours a hazy and murky orange-copper, almost like a harvest moon, with a small fizzy white head that becomes a patchy rocky film shortly. Fragrant floral fruit and citrus hop combined aroma with a lightly roasted caramel sweet malt (cookie) background. Flavor is heavily bitter and sour citrus rind hop with a light acidity and caramel malt body. Medium bodied and fizzy palate, goes a tad dry but very drinkable and refreshing. Lives up to its name in a pleasant and inviting way.

Oct 31, 2008 Bottle at Beer Palace, Oslo.
Cloudy amber, strong hoppy aroma.
Well balanced - full malty body, flowery and crisp hops. Dry summer meadow finish. Brutal? Hardly, but a fine beer.

Dec 13, 2003 Updated: Jan 15, 2006Draft. Hoppy, floral aroma. Poured kinda flat for my liking. Nice citrus taste. Nice and bitter. The bottle though pours with a nice head and is more bitter.
