Our Pale Ale raises a glass to the art deco arches of Reliance Arcade where local cobblers and tailors still practice their crafts with skill and precision. Premium English Maris Otter Barley provides the clean, crisp backdrop to bright hop flavours. Reliance proves again that if you want the real deal, you have to make it by hand.

330 ml can, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 4.2%. Sligtly hazy pale golden colour, smalll white head. Moderate aroma of tropical fruits (papaya, mango, guava) which \"disappears\" after a while in the glass, hints of citrus and biscuity malts. The flavour has also citrus and biscuity malts, medium dry. Drinkable and forgettable.
*Dec. 2025: Sampled twice (pint) from keg at The Grand Central, Brighton. Nice fruity and refreshing character. A hint of diacetyl.

Draught keg at the Elm Park Tavern, Brixton. Light to mid-gold with just a little bit of haze. The aroma is light but there are flashes of pink grapefruit, orange and melon. Taste is pretty sweet and juicy with a reasonable malt presence and some citrus rind hop bitterness closer to the finish. Light body with medium to heavy carbonation. It's simultaneously dull and enjoyable.

Hazy light gold with a frothy white head and a mellow light biscuit malt aroma, with hints of fruit. It's crisp and moderately carbonated, a little citrusy with a soft bitterness that dries into the finish.

On tap at Brixton Brewery, one third pint on a sample tray. Patches on the surface of a clear golden body, spotty lacing. Moderate aromas of lemony hops and pale malts. Citrus fruity flavours, a little perfumed, hints of biscuit, as well Ends smooth with a distant bitter touch. Just okay. (London 20.11.2021).

Delt med Rune på taprommet. Lys gylden. Nesten klar. Lett grapefruktaroma. Smaken frisk sitrusfrukt. Litt mye kullsyre. Fruktig bitter avslutning.

Can on 1st October 2021 from Gorillas. Pours hazy amber with shallow off-white foam and a fair amount of lacing. Caramel malt and spices in aroma. Citrus in-mouth with hints of sour soapiness. A nutty transient. Citrus and floral finish with some maltiness present. Medium bodied with an engaging texture.

[33cl can from M&S, Camberley.] A hazy pale amber pour with a fast fading white head; sweet tropical fruit aroma; then very dry in the mouth with some stone fruits and a light biscuity body; and a dry finish. Subtle and refreshing.
