What about the beer?

Colour is copper orange with tiny diminishing white head. Aroma has orange, mango and caramel. Taste begins with soft citrus hoppy bite. Bitter grapefruit with strong piny dry twist takes over and dominates. Some lemon and orange notes appear in the middle. Near the finish harsh pine and grapefruit peel are added. Aftertaste has peely dryness and heavy grapefruit bitterness.

At first the brew seems to be almost too grapefruit-pine dominated but the other citrus arrive with time. Superb lemon, orange and grapefruit peel flavours. Strong but balanced, stiff-bodied brew. The brewery from the hood doesn't fail.

Controlled power behind the chilled label. Browsed through power metal ballads and somehow got attached to this one. Guess it was the title, guess it was the longing bitter lyrics, guess it was the clear vocal and instrumental performance. Anyway, here it is:
