750 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. Hazy golden colour, large white head. Strong sweetish aroma of American hops and carapilsener malts, notes of citrus fruit / orange marmalade. Soft mouthfeel. Sweet flavour with distinct and fruity American hops throughout. A tasty and enjoyable beer, the alcohol is not well hidden though. Medium bitter finish. Tastes more or less like an American IPA, not much "pilsener" about this one.

Had this in Rome. Pours fizzy, slightly hazy gold colour. Light head and solid lacing. Citrus hops flavor and aroma. Elevated bitterness. Not too carbonated. Very smooth. Overall very good and enjoyable.

Bottle at home. Pours a hazy, amberish gold with a big, creamy white head. Aroma of apricots, slightly tropical, grains, light peppery yeast, light caramel, citrus, thyme, wheat, lightly flowery,. Taste is light to medium sweet at first, lightly tart, turns bitter. Full, creamy body with lively, medium carbonation and a lightly tart, lightly bitter finish.
Liked this way better than the first time around. Not missing the bitterness, just a very balanced, fruity Pils - but also a little as if it was on the verge to being a Saison. Slightly tart, herbal and very fruity.

L - hazy yellow/orange, white head fades to a thin layer, lots of haze
S - floral, nutty (?), yeast, lemon, pineapple
T - nice balance of sweet and bitter, some lemon, malts in the background
F - average level of carbonation and thickness, nice and creamy
O - interesting, sort of in the NE IPA vein, but more lemon peel than fleshy fruit, and an almost savory sort of character to the yeast and malt background

Flat both in look and mouthfeel. Other than that it's nice with a big hop presence a lot on the pineapple, the pine and a bit on the tangerine. Nice pils malt balance. Some white wine notes.
Good stuff but too bad it's a bit flat
Better some months later, nice carbonation
