The fine tradition of English Pale Ale is about quaffing, refreshment and complexity of flavour without alcoholic strength.
Then throw in new wave American hop variety Mount Hood with robust citrus aromas and the result is a smooth ale with floral hints, light malt tones and a hoppy freshness.

500 ml bottle, from Det Gode Brygg, Sandnes. ABV is 4.4%, Deep golden colour, moderate white head. Surprisingly dull aroma, notes of grain and dust, only the faintest hint of fruity hops. The flavour has a much better presence of hops, notes of citrus and berries. Nice to drink. The finish is not very bitter though.

Flaske fra Det gode brygg, delt med Ovesen på Holmens juleverksted: klar gylden med ok skum, litt film og kniplinger. Sitron- og blomsterpreget aroma og smak. Behagelig karbonert, slank. Lett blomsteraktig bitterhet i avslutningen.
