Poured a brilliant copper brown, with a well-formed head. Focused, almost sweet, hoppy nose. Evident malt notes countered by excellent bitterness on the palate. Lingers well. Beautiful Belgian Lace. Would definitely purchase again.

33cl bottle. Clear orange pour with a sticky white head. Smells of citrus, pineapple, mango. Tastes like mango and unripe pineapple, citrus and salt. Refreshing.

Light marigold colour, sweet malt aromas with citrus and floral hops. Packs a hoppy punch; grapefruit pith and rind, sweet light malt, and a slightly bitter finish.

Pale tangerine with tower of solid crusting white shaving cream that trails like crazy. 4.25
Shortbread, saltines, overripe peach and some Simcoe-like cat. 4
Slight biscuit, then guava, tangelo, resin and some kronik. 4
Orange taffy end and powdery children's Bayer linger.
Medium, fizzy, salty, oily. 3.75
Head looks wheaty smooth, and the nose is wild and tropical - almost to a queasy extent. Taste follows up - a massive whack of fruit, with mineral + IBUs to match and not much to temper it. Almost a prove-a-point single-hop IPA: yep, that's Galaxy, as loud as it can get. There's something almost pornographic in how lushly fruity this hop can get. I wonder if they really had to stomp the pedal to the flow, though. 4

An interesting exposé on one of my favorite hops. A classic mixture of tropical and piney notes. My dad's family comes from coastal Norway, so I embrace any chance to try beers from there.

Hop bomb, with a lit bit of tropical fruits and a lot of hop bitternes that punch the tongje with no stop. Hit the mouth, with piney, citrussy finish. A lit bit of onion, maybe, in the aroma.

Pours amber with a large lasting head.
Nose shwos some lychee, apple and mango hop notes with a fair bit of sweet-smelling malt behind.
Very malty flavours, big biscuity notes. Some of the fruit transfers through.
