Bottled - tasted blind. A hazy amber beer with a thin lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet matly with light notes of spices and fruit - especially oranges. The falvor is sweet matly with fruity notes of peaches, leading to a dry bitter finish.

(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of tertons. Slightly hazy golden with an off-white head. Fresh and citrusy hop aroma. Medium body with sweet caramel and fruit notes - almost a little perfumy - before a rather bitter finish with quite some alcohol showing. 260708

From bottle #19 at sk8vikings American blind tasting. Pours cloudy golden orange with lacing white head. Solid hoppy and spiced aroma. Spiced and frity hoppy flavour. Smooth and nice caramel malty with a light yeasty note. Warming finish with a lingering spice finish and solid hoppy. Nice and flavourful yet smooth.

Draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Deep golden, almost no head. Rich perfumy grapefruity hop aroma. Really sweet. The well sized but sticky body is perfectly laquered with layer upon layer of massive aromatic hoppiness. A hop bomb with a beautiful surface hiding a less than perfect inside. Very bitter finish. Raw and simple perhaps, but forgiven.

Bottled. Orangeish golden colour with small white foamy head, leaves some slight lacing. Aroma is floral and fruity along with some slight grass and mild alcohol. Flavour is quite much the same along with some sweet malts as well as mild biscuity notes as well. Quite pleasant.

Appearance: clear copper, small frothy head, bitsof drippy lace
Aroma: sweet crystal malt aroma with floral and piny hops
Body: creamy body
Flavor: sweet crystal malt flavor, lots of hop bitterness rising out of earthy hops, touch of citrus, sweetness does a good job balancing the big bitterness, no middle ground between the sweet malt and big bitterness, upon warming the hop flavor comes out but is still held back by the bitterness
