Generously dry-hopped with Amarillo and Simcoe for a bright, piney punch, 1500 brings together orange blossom and grapefruit notes with a touch of honey sweetness. We don’t like choosing favorites, but 1500 is our perfect everyday hoppy beer.

0.355l can from Beer Republic. Aroma of citrus, passion fruit, herbs, honey and pine. Pours cloudy dark golden color with medium sized soapy white head and soft visible carbonation. Taste starts refreshing citrusy and herbal, following is grainy, mild tropical fruity and floral, mouthfeel is smooth but crisp, while finish is pretty bitter. Medium body, oily texture and lively carbonation in palate. 1500 reasons for another one…

From a 568ml can on 16/11/2024. Pours a clearish medium golden with a medium head. The nose is grassy with some light pine notes. Tastes of light citrus with a touch of biscuity malt, finishing nicely bitter. Medium bodied with average carbonation. It won't change your life but it's a really nice, solid decently hoppy pale ale.

Can drunk in front of the fire next to the window sill i mounted today. Amber light hazy with good head, apricot mandarine nose. Great tropical flavors, mild/super smooth bitterness, nice fresh fruit with background of pine. Really excellent, balanced pale ale.
