Bottle, 5.25%. Teaish hop aroma, a little old hops, but smells good. Almost clear golden colour. Small stable white head. The flavour has a teaish hop note, grassy with a bready finish. Clean enough and actually slightly watery. But not bad at all.

Bottle @ Rowdy Rebel Revel, Sønderborg. Pours hazy pale straw with airy but stable white head. Clear aroma of hops and citrus, with estery and malty notes and fruity touches. Bitetr, hoppy and grassy flavour with notes of fruit and malt and estery touches. Hints of flowers. Bitter and slightly grassy aftertaste. Decent but a little tame.

22 oz bottle purchased at 7-11 Kittery. Fresh bottle with a bottle date of 9/20/15. Hazy straw color with thin lasting head in a snifter. Aroma is a good dose of pine with traces of citrus and wood.
Flavor has substantial pine throughout, hints of tangerine, the sip with a nice balanced malt bill. Bitterness is grassy and lingers slightly. The overall mouthfeel is crisp and refreshing. The citrus and pine are balanced well together, super easy to drink and I killed 22 oz. with ease.

Bottle. Turner’s, Sheffield. Hazy gold. Bubbles and a film of lasting, white head. Fairly sweet, slightly fusty malts. Soft toffee. Mandarin orange hop. Some cracker biscuit. Faint pine notes. Taste is light bitter. Hint of mineral dryness. Light, citric tang. Clean, lively palate. Juicy bitterness builds, and lingers on the finish. Quaffable.

Draft at the source. Poured a golden color with a small white head. Aroma was light pine, some mild citrus. Flavor was mild citrus, light pine. A touch earthy hop character. Easy to drink.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 18B). Bottle 47 cl - Batch unknown. AROMA: moderate hop aroma with slight citric notes and pine. mild background of grainy malt notes. APPEARANCE: pale gold and translucent. moderate white head with good retention. TASTE: hop flavour with notes similiar to the aroma (pine, some resin). slight supportive clean malt background. moderate bitterness with a semi-dry and bitter finish. PALATE: medium-light to light body. moderate carbonation. no hop astringency. OVERALL: a very good american pale ale, showcasing the hops and with a slight supportive clean malt profile.

650 ml bottled 02/13/15 from Ammersin Centerstore, shared at RB Tasting Linz.
Golden-amber, hazy body, with a medium, creamy, lacing, white head.
Aroma of citrus, grass, pine, yellow fruits, some cheese, sweet bread.
Tastes of grapefruit, pine, grass, stome fruits, candy.
Medium, creamy mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes medium bitter, quite dry, zesty, piney, grassy, a bit fruity.
Nice one, although I was expecting a bit more. The nose is interesting, with slightly unusual notes, taste is a bit light, but still pleasant. Overall easy and refreshing APA, but nothing special.

Bottle split at the 9.49 CBC boost tasting, Clerko, 03/06/15 thanks to Ferris. Hazed pale golden with a moderate off white covering. Nose is pithy citrics, melon, light dank strokes, bread dough, tangerine, earthy hop. Taste comprises more dank tones, tangerine, on the turn melon, tea leaves, straw, lemon rind. MEdium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with earthy hop bitterness. Decent enough APA but perhaps a little tired?
