650 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 5.25. Pale golden colour, only the faintest haziness. Large to moderate white head. Distinct aroma of American hops, notes of tropical fruits, citrus and pine, some caramel. Refreshing flavour, with the same elements as in the aroma. Well balanced, good beer.

Poured into Sam Adams Perfect pint showing about a finger and half of clean white foam and pours golden clear. The nose shows clean and fresh tropical and exotic fruits (e.g. pineapple, mango) with hints of cannabis and pine. The palate is medium bodied and very fruit forward - a lot of fresh tropical fruit flavors. The mids show slight malt sweetiness. Slight bitterness at the end rounds off the pale ale. Great beer to start a session and even better fresh during a warmer season. As a pale ale, this is almost perfect.

rather pale and clear, nice head. American piney hop aromas, very interesting. Super nice citrus and some flowery hay/earthy taste. Something very distinct, yet very drinkable and great Pale Ale. It?s too rare that one has the opportunity to have something like this.

Sampled on draft at 3R6P this beer poured a slightly hazy very pale yellow color with a small fluffy white head that left good lacing. The aroma was dryish and bitter with vague fruity hops and a touch of herbal hops. The flavor was thin and bitter with sharp fruity and floral hosp with a faint tangy undertone. Medium length finish. Light body. Meh.

Bottle, 0.65l, shared with colleagues. Pours cloudy pale golden with small off white head and average sparkling appearance. Aroma of citrus, pineapple and pine. Taste starts with light sweet maltiness, follows by refreshing fruity acidity, but you quickly get dry mouthfeel with moderate bitter finish. Medium body, slick texture and average carbonation in palate. Very nice session beer...
