Crisp and aromatic, this boldly-hopped American ale balances notes of citrus and tea-like earthiness from American hops with a subtle German malt base.

355 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 5.1%. Clear golden colour, moderate to low white head. Sweetish aroma with hints of orange marmalade, notes of earthy hops and wood, even a hint of smoke. Fairly hoppy and peppery flavour, with a distinct bitterness in the aftertaste.

Bottle. Pale amber with a large white head that lasts well. Aroma of orange, grapefruit, pine, peach, a little toast. Slight cat. Light bodied. Fruity sweet with oranges and peach, sharper citrus and some pine coming through as the fairly strong bitterness kicks in. Not much to the malt side of things after that toasty hint in the aroma which leaves the nice hops feeling too like dish soap.

Bottle from Bierkompass.de. Amber, clear body, with a medum, creamy, slightly yellow head. Aroma of flowers, citrus, tangerine, some ropical fruits, grass, herbs, some candy. Taste with about the same aromas. Mouthfeel is light, slick, with a moderate carbonation and it finishes medium bitter, slightly dry, with lemon zest, grass, slight pine and some sweet malts. Nice one. A lighter version of their HopDevil, also with lots of grassy notes. Refreshing and easy to drink, but overall nothing special.

Smell of hops, citrus. Hazy amber colour, beige head. Aroma of hops, spruce, a hint of grapefruit. Mid-flat and plentiful carbon. Starts off slightly sweet, turns quickly bitter. Slightly dry palate. Nicely balanced and rather hopped for being an APA.
