Chewy and bitter palate - toffeeish malts and citrusy hops, sugar tarts, leaves. Chewy hops resonate in the lingering finish. fiulijn (7150), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 3, 2004 Copper color. Very nice hop aroma, with fruits (oranges, curaçao). Oily and malty, good but less interesting than other examples; strong final, aromatic, less long than others. Thanks Jeppe (Bierkönig) for sharing this bottle.

Golden amber color, not much head. Very strong aroma of blackcurrant leaves. Medium to full bodied. Aggressive sweet honeyish hoppyness, some blackcurrant also in the flavor. Unbalanced, not my cup of tea. Maria (6225), Thisted, Denmark
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Feb 3, 2008 Thanks a lot Daniel/TheCheeseMan for this very nice beer. It’s dark orange-golden with a red hue and a small head. The aroma is wonderfully hoppy with notes of oranges, pine needles, apricot, papaya and mango. The flavour has a smooth bitterness and is very complex and fruity. I find notes of papaya, mango, oranges, caramel and a light sweetness - it’s not easy to describe the balance, it seems so perfect. The finish has a slightly dry grapefruit note.
