330 ml. bottle sampled @ home. Purchased at Albert Heijn. BBF26-11-16. Clear sparkling bright golden amber, little off-white head. Nose is almost akin to a pale lager, massively oily, big vegetable oil, insecticide, cardboard, cooked vegetables. Taste is sweet oily very sweet vegetable oil apple, artificial corn, stevia, plant sweet, cardboard,… Taste is ever so slightly a bit further removed from a plae lager than the smell, weird artificial apple sugar stevia covers it a bit but still big vegetable oil, cardboard,… Oily thin, cardboard, dust,…. A very minor step up from a pale lager, very close, comfortable for pale lager drinkers both quite worthless for others.

Bottle from an Albert Heijn supermarket. Promises ’southern pale ale’ so I guessed it was hopped with Nelson Sauvin or something - but anyway: thick, sticky, coarse, off-white head, warm ’old gold’ colour, cristal clear. Aroma of soggy sugar corn, apple juice, flowers, breakfast cereals, hint of ’cooked’ pasteurization - in all, not very hoppy to say the least, and way sweeter than expected. Sweet but clean onset, very apple-like, thinnish but somehow sticky mouthfeel, soft carbo, underlying ’basic’ but inexpressive sourishness, ’dead’ main taste, lean graininess with a bready hint growing stronger and even a tad ’powdery’ in the end, soft floral hoppiness providing underachieving bitterness and dito retronasal aromas. With all due respect for brewer’s intent but this is not a pale ale: this is a simple, plain golden ale at best, intended for easy and uncomplicated session drinking. Whatever, but please do not call it a "pale ale" then... Boring and too sweet in a strange, unpleasantly apple-ish kind of way.

33cl bottle. Clear amber with a thin white head that disappears in an instant. Smells lie burnt caramel, lemon juice, red fruit and bubble gum. The taste follows the same note, and odd mix of red fruit, bitter hops and bubble gum. Not bad!

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Moderate malty and hoppy aroma. Moderate bitter flavor. Average moderate bitter finish. Oily palate.

Golden, plentiful fine carbonation , white lace. Full chewy body with sparkles. Good malt notes, a hint dust, grassy hop finish with a bit of staying power. Not too far from a good Helles.

Shared bottle at Cardinal, Stavanger. Pours clear light amber. Aroma of bread, hay, some fruity notes. Tastes slightly bitter, thin bodied, bitter finish. Somewhat boring.
