January 2014: 500 ml, batch 695, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger (sold out now, but they will have more later). ABV is 6.0%. Cloudy golden colour, moderate white head. Lovely aroma of mixed tropical fruits. Relatively light bodied. The flavour is brimming with fruity hops, but the beer is not too sweet. Notes of tropical fruits, citrus and pine. A winner.

It pours hazy deep orange color with short lasting off-white head. Inviting aroma, it smells strongly orange, pine and slightly floral. Taste is moderately high bitter and low to moderate sweet. High grapefruity fruitiness comes first, but caramelly and honey like maltiness is in background. Dry and spicy finish. Very soft and tasty bitterness stays in aftertaste. Medium bodied and carbonation is low to moderate. It's a highly drinkable and highly refreshing hoppy Pale Ale.

Semi hazy orange color. Aroma has dough, resiny hops and orange rind. Taste is balanced, hoppy with a light malt character at first, resiny hop bitterness on the finish. Medium body and carbonation.

2014 vintage; drank 12/22/14 in the Yarchives.
Poured from the bottle into a glass.
Semi-opaque dark orange color.
HUGE eggnog head (careful pouring!); a curtain of lace.
Mango & pineapple nose, with a hint of cream.
Creamy, medium mouthfeel.
Pineapple flavor up front; creamed coffee on the finish. A hop bite prickles the lips. An odd mix of flavors that are strangely muted; unique, interesting but not altogether great. Worth a quaff though...

From Miguel. In Teku glass. Playing Broken Sword 5. Initially feels soft and sweet, with tangerine-like fruityness. Later the bitterness becomes much more noticeable. Memorable aftertaste

The beer is hazy, dark yellow when you pour it.
The foam is beige / white with big bubbles that disappear at a leisurely pace.
However, leaving the fine grooves in the glass. Lovely aromas of hops.
Behind it citrus, grapefruit, sweet tangerine, pineapple and passion fruit.
With hints of caramel, pine, resin and grass.
The flavors of the hops, passion fruit, citrus, cherry, pineapple, grapefruit.
Tastes a little sweet mandarin, mango. A little sweet at the end. But it is more reminiscent of an IPA than a monkey. Rich body. Medium-high bitterness. Crispy carbonic acid.

A 500ml bottle from batch #942 with a best before date of December 2015 (drank on 23rd November 2015) and poured into a Duvel tulip glass.
Appearance: It poured a cloudy orangey copper colour with a fluffy two finger off white head that had great retention and left nice sticky lacing.
Aroma: Citrus zest, grapefruit, sweet mandarin and pineapple with hints of caramel, pine and grass.
Taste: Much like the aromas, taste is mainly sweet mandarin, mango, pineapple, passion fruit, citrus zest and grapefruit. There is also some light caramel and candied sugar notes.
Mouthfeel: Dry, medium bodied with medium carbonation.
Overall: I enjoyed this and it was very easy to drink. It was sweeter than expected even though the citrus and hop bitterness was there in the background.
