Copenhagen 2/6 2017. 33 cl bottle from Høkeren, Ravnsborggade, Kbh. Ø. Quite weird label that looks like somebody doing Science Fiction in the nineteen eighties. Quite tacky.
Pours hazy orange with humongous off-white head. Settles as 1 cm thick layer of dense foam.
Aroma is a little thin and of exotic sweetness with citric overtones. Probably subdued due to the substantial layer of foam.
Soft carbonation and slightly thick palate.
Flavor is lightly sweet followed by stronger bitterness. Sour bitter aftertaste. Metallic notes.
Not bad - even though a little bit on the thin side when it comes to the nose - but a nice aggressive finish.

January 2013: 330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 6.0%, IBU 52. Dark amber to brown colour, large off-white head. Strong aroma of fruity American hops and crystal malts, notes of oranges. High level of carbonation. Medium sweet malts in the flavour, give way to distinct piney and grapefruity American hops. Bitter aftertaste. The best I’ve had from Brewfist so far, might buy again.

Tap @ Harvest Pub, Bologna - Pours cloudy amber with a medium white foamy head. Nice lacing. Aroma - Citrus - grapefruit, strong malty notes, caramel. Taste - Sweet, citrus - grapefruit, strong caramel malty middle, light bitter finish. Malty notes win over citrus here and therefore not really my cup of tea.

Hazy copper/amber beer, 2-finger golden head, good retention.
Smell - toasted, caramel, grassy. Closer to lagers.
Taste - caramel, herbal hop bitterness.
Medium body, soft carbonation.
Not impressing at all.

11.2oz bottle. Poured out a clear, golden amber color with a small, white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of bread crust, caramel and grasses. Sweet caramel and toffee taste with a mild grassy bitterness. Crisp and clean.

330ml bottle purchased at a Marui Marui (0101?) in Japan and served in my little hotel tumbler. I don't see any indication of a bottled on or best by date.
Pours hazy brownish amber with a pretty large light tan creamy head. Fades medium fast, leaves the beginnings of some heavy lacing on the side of my glass. Lots of carbonation. Smell is mildly grassy, mildly toasty.
Taste is caramelly with a slow mild hoppy middle and then a creamy smoothness, more of that caramel, finally a slight piney bitter finish.
Mouthfeel is a little heavy, surprisingly not sticky. Overall, it's not too bad. Nothing terribly notable to say about it, although the creaminess in the flavor is fairly interesting.
