Commercial Description:
Brewed with lots of Golden Promise and Pale Ale malts with a touch of Oats and light hazy gold in color. Ultra crisp bitterness from Warrior hops, with Glacier hops adding the peach,orange and apricot aroma. We dry-hopped this one because...we like hops.

Can. An unclear amber beer with a lazing orangey head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of grapefruit as well as medium notes of caramel and malt. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of spices, grapefruit, and more, leaidng to a slightly bitter finish. The body is a bit thin. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

(Can 45 cl) Courtesy of iowaherkey. Pours a slightly hazy amber golden with an off-white head. Fresh, citrusy hop aroma. Light body with a little nuttiness but otherwise completely dominated by fresh, dry citrusy hop notes. An excellent session quaffer. 131108

From cask. Pours hazy orange with no head. Aroma is distinctly grapefruit. No carbonation. Fruity flavour, grapefruit. Reminds me most of a grapefruit juice than a beer. Finish has some peach notes and a mild bitterness as well. Had this gone bad? I don’t think it was meant to taste so dull.6-2-6-3-11=2.8

50 cL can, courtesy of Papsoe. Pours hazy orange with a diminished white head. Dense hoppy and bitter aroma with a solid peachy/citrusy aroma. Bitter and solid fruity flavoured with a mild peachy note. Bitter and fruity finish. Quite crisp and nicely hopped.7-3-8-3-15=3.6
