Draft at GBBF 2006. A yellow beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is sweet fruity - especially grapefruits. The flavor is sweet malty with a strong fruity note - again grapefruit is very present, leading to a dry bitter end.

From tap at Brogatan. Pours clear and golden orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is light sweet caramel and light floral hoppy touch too. Floral hoppy flavoured with a vague citrus to peach touch. Ends in a medium dry and mild citrusy flavoured finish.

Draught@SBWF2009. Golden colour, small beige head. Aroma is bready malts, some grass, earth and also mild fruityness. Flavour is quite much the same. Sweetish fruity grassy aftertaste.

(Tasting notes from Fall 2000): Crisp, mildly bitter. Limited aftertaste. Needs to do more.

Draught@SBWF 2009
Golden amber color, big cloudy off-white head. A bit metallic, lemony, pale malty aroma, some hard grassy hops too. Pale malty with some caramel and light hops, a bit bready. Boring.

A Mes rate: Tap at the White Horse.
Golden brown with a thin white film. Fairly bland aroma with not much happening other than some slight fruity hops and that’s about it. Sherbert hop flavour with faint tobacco and earthy malt. Decent citric notes but again not much happening. Dry and slightly bitter finish. Too safe and lacking character.

Draught in the Rake. Alround rating: Pale biscuity malt, very fresh and you can really taste the freshly cracked malt, floral and light grassy hop, clean and fresh very refreshing. Impressed by the different aspect of this unusually low% american beer.
