Bottle. A more or less clear one, pale golden in color and with a small, dense, white head. The aroma is quite citrusy, lemon and lime, with some pale malts in the back. Pine cones too. It’s quite dry on the palate, with a soft carbonation, medium body. Pale malts in the back of the flavor, with citrusy, piney flavors up front. Decent bitterness too. Lasting citrusy, piney finish. Easy drinkable and quite tasteful this one, session style. 140808

(Bottle, 0.5 l - 03/15, 20140724) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had sweetness and honey. Palate was medium bodiied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, sweetness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet and bitter. A quite poor English pale ale.

A light yellow beer with a weak and white head. The nose of fresh lemon, biscuity and grainy maltyness, quite dry. Taste of biscuits and some honey, herbs, hint of lemon, dry bitterness with some unpleasant acrid notes. Quite light, nice carbonation. Nice aroma but some acrid notes in the taste are spoiling the enjoyment.

Aroma has toffee and English hops. Flavour has Toffee, English hops, some grass and hints of grapefruit. Probably the best gluten free I’ve had. Kukko Pils is a close second though.

500ml bottle picked up at Kjeller 5, Tromsø. Pours a huge white head reduced to a bubbly layer on top of a clear, pale golden body. Solid lacework. Floral hops on the nose, hints of wheat. Mid-dry taste of citrus and grainy malts, lightly spiced. Smooth, dry bitter tail. Oily palate. Soft. Medium bodied. Easy to drink, refreshing (shared with Finn H. at his place, Tromsø 27.03.2014).

500ml bottle from Booths. Pours clear pale gold, little to no head. Aromas are dusty malt, cereal, light lemon citrus. Taste is light sweet, very light bitter. If there had been a vegetal note I’d have called it a lager, as it is, pretty sub-standard low-hopped blonde ale.
