A Rotterdam Pale Ale dryhopped with the American hops Citra & Mosaic. Karel is fruity in the nose with passion fruit, grapefruit, and a hint of hay and citrus in the background. The refreshing fruity flavors end in a slightly bitter and thirst-quenching aftertaste.

330ml bottle [in the meanwhile celebrating van Persie’s equalizer and Robben’s goal giving the Netherlands the lead - yessss! - Man! Can’t drink that fast, Holland scores again!]. Hazy dark golden to amber colour with average to huge, firm, foamy, fairly lasting, barely white head. Resinous hoppy aroma with very intense and explicit notes of spruce, fruity hints of pineapple, a touch of mandarine, watery mango, overall woody character. Taste is fruity hoppy, slightly dry, slightly resinous, piney, hints of spruce, pineapple, watery mango. Very nice!

Bottle from Mouton Rouge Canterbury and drunk at home. Hazy amber lasting near white head. Big hoppy aroma. Piney resiny hops. Lovely light American pale ale. Resin grapefruit pine bitter. Again just a very very decent APA. I thought it was pretty tasty.

330ml bottle @ the 5th Shrewsbury Bottle share May 14, courtesy of Paolo. I’m going to completely disagree with Master Haddock below and say I really liked this. Got a lovely fresh aroma and juicy tropical citrus taste. Admittedly it did mellow quickly, but I found it an enjoyable, fruity APA.
