Draught from Brouwerij Lane. Pours a heady golden hue. Hops aroma, mild pine and clean finish. Very refreshing.

Bottle. Just an average tasting pale ale. Not all that great. Golden color. Some head. More hops then not but not the greatest.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso va sul luppolo. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la continuità olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta ed è voluminosa. La grandezza delle bollicine a grana medio-fine. La carbonazione è eccessiva. L'aspetto del liquido è velato. La frizzantezza si manifesta sotto forma di bollicine medie e anche qui la carbonazione è eccessiva, e frizzante. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è contenuto. L'intensità gustativa è normale e la costanza gustativa è sufficiente per una birra parecchio gassata. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono di pronta beva. Il finale è dissetante e semplice. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Sulla lingua si depositano impressioni di miele e frutta secca.

Can at home. Aroma is biscuity malt, soft stone fruits, peach, buttery notes, caramel, toffee, mild hops. Flavour is light sweet and moderate bitter. Body is medium. Maltier than I expected with some buttery notes.

Notes from October 2011 On-tap at Hop Devil Grill. Happy hour+ taco Tuesdays make it worth visiting again. :) Pint glass. Clear, copper color. Soft, off white inch of foam. Nothing special. Toasty, leafy green, with an ever so slight scent of margarine. Dry & toasty taste/texture. Bitter greens. Slightly nutty & sweet. Numbing finish. Frothy feel. Moderately bitter. Pretty solid. Goes well with all this chorizo I've ingested. :)

Tap at the Watering Hole. Clear golden amber colour, white fluffy head. Aroma is hops, slightly resinous, but of cat pee and twigs. Taste is better, quite soft bitterness, citrus hop finish, bit of biscuity malt, but more fruity than malty. Slight funky sour creaminess at end. Quite nice taste to be honest.
