An orange beer with a thick white head. The aroma is lovely hoppy and grassy. While the flavor is a dry hoppy and grassy on a malt and caramel background. The after taste is good with lots of hops, but I find the flavor in general a bit light, and also the body a bit light inspite of the 7.5% ABV.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear, amber golden with a handsome, creamy, white head. Fresh, citrusy nose. Surprisingly light body - almost a bit watery. Somewhat perfumy aroma hops. Dry, hoppy finish. Quite lovely. 220406

Bright amber colour. Huge nose - so much hop, fairly grassy with a hint of blackberry. Big blackberry/raspberry character. Firm woodiness. Sweeter towards the finish, with yet more blackberry. Fun stuff - I like the balance.

(1/29/08, 12oz bottle, thanks kmweaver) Crystal clear amber body topped by small beige head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma is moderately sweet, juicy grapefruit/orange, pine, pineapple, mango. Taste is moderately sweet, grapefruit, pine/pineapple, some caramel. Smooth medium body, fairly easy to drink despite the ABV. (9/4/7/4/15)

(2/4/06, draft) Minimal off-white head atop clear golden body. Aroma is moderately sweet, pineapple, some pine, caramel, grapefruit. Taste is moderately sweet, pineapple, some pine, light grapefruit. Medium body with some resin and light acidity. Nice hop burp. (8/3/7/4/15)

Thank you After4ever/Tom. It’s a golden amber color and the head is nice and creamy. The aroma if full of fruity hops with notes of papaya, oranges and caramel. The flavour has a light sweetness with notes of tangerine, papaya, caramel, citrus, hints of pine and a long and slightly bitter finish, where some grapefruit turns up. It’s a very smooth and harmonic beer – very nice indeed!!
