(Bottle, 0.33 l - batch 008 - BB 01/07/2014, at Drink Baar, 20131222) The beer poured amber and quite clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had resin, fruitiness and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were resin, fruitiness, sweetness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A nicely done pale ale.

330 ml bottle from Drink Shop. Nice foamy top that stays well, colour is somewhat dirty copper. Aroma has a lot of hop freshness, floral and blossoming with some notes of green banana. Taste is a bit bitter at first - and even more bitter after that. Grapefruit peels multiplied. Bitterness does not feel very balanced - nor very fresh - for me it’s a bit overdoing it, especially for a relatively weak body that this beer has. Something sweet in the aftertaste that feels nice. Overall, a good attempt from a completely new brewery and quite sure I am going to have this again!

Batch 001, 330ml bottle. Pours dull golden with medium white head. The head stays for some time. Aroma is not very strong citrus, salt, hints of fruits. Taste is simcoe hops, caramel, citrus, fruity. It has nice bitter finish, which lingers for some time. Medium-soft carbonation. Overall: really pleasent beer. Update 27.06.2015. Tried a bottle from the same batch (001, BB 02.05.2014). Wow this is still very drinkable for a beer that is more than year over BB. A couple of months back we tried Kuldne Eil, which was from the first batch and it was totally gone off, but this is clearly not a case with this beer. I thought that maybe my initial rating was overrate, but considering how well the bottle has held up, I am inclined to keep it.
