Brewed with Southern Cross hops to create a lightly bittered pale ale with zesty fruit aromas and a clean crisp finish.

33cl bottle. Pours clear dark golden colour with a mid-sized most good lasting off-white head. Aroma of citrus, red malt, mild bitter hops. Taste of grainy red malt, mild citrus hops, nothing special.

Bottle. Golden pour. Aroma of pils malt and sweet grain. Taste of sweet malt, mild fruity hop and candy peach. More pils than apa.

Bottle at Albert Heijn, Warmond. Poured a clear medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is malt, floral hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light grainy watery, light fruit, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Boring. Lacking in hoppyness, crispness, freshness and flavor. Can only discover an overdose of caramel.

Fast gone, just off-white head over big bubbled, very lively carbonated orange-golden beer. Caramel, watery... and near anything else. Benzene? Lightly bitterish - and watery. Bit of parsley, searching well. Utterly light. Had even lighter British ales with so much more flavour. This is but a sorry excuse for an ale.

Bottle from local AH, BB 04-11-16, large sample. Clear golden color, short rocky head. Aroma of grainy malt, lots of fresh plums, bit citrus, slight caramel, bit sulphury. Fruity in taste, plums, citrus. Feels a bit like a fusion of an APA and a german pilsener, with lots of plus added. Weird. Mediocre.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Albert Heijn Culemborg Clear golden with a white head. Looks, aroma and taste are more lager/pilsener like than American pale ale like. Very unimpressive and certainly not worth the price tag.

Clear medium amber colour, small frothy off-white head, receding slowly, fair lacing. Aroma sweet malts, corn, fruity (applish), cooked vegetables. Flavour medium sweet and light bitter, corny, plain and cardboard, especially in the light bitter finish, dusty and paper notes. Not satisfying as a pale ale, it’s more like a pale lager.
