Flaska från SBs beställningssortiment. Bärnstensfärgad, disig, ganska lågt skum. Redan på doften känns det att det är malten som är denna öls styrka. Bröd, karamell, röda frukter fint sammanvävda. Len munkänsla, fin kropp, bra balans. Röda plommon, blodapelsin, gräsig beska, toffee, karamell. Men styrkan ligger inte i de enskilda smakerna utan hur väl de harmonierar. En snäll APA, men väldigt välbyggd.

Bottle shared with Dutchdrebus and Martinus @ weekly tasting. Clear orange color, medium sized off - white head. Aroma is a bit weird surprisingly: malts, lightly hops, slightly leaves, and ehm...seriously, I don’t know, but it’s weird. Taste is a bit better, but it doesn’t convince me. Lightly hoppy, lightly malts, again a bit weird. Disappointing.

Bottle at Maple Counter Café, Walla Walla, WA, USA. An amber coloured pour with a medium off white head on top. Hoppy, citrus aroma. Tastes slightly hoppy, citrus, bitter and lacking in complexity to be honest.

On tap at Yard House, Honolulu, August 2013. A bit hazy dark golden with a small head. Aroma and taste of pine, citrus, grass and some malt. Nothing spectacular but a drinkable beer.

Bottle, 5%. Grassy and citric hop aroma. Cloudy orange colour. Small stable frothy off-white head. The flavour has some soft fruit hoppiness, mango and watermelon. Medium bitterness to balance. A simple and decent pale ale. Good session beer.

Bottle. Pours clear amber with airy off-white head. Clear aroma with notes of citrus and fruit. Bitter and acidic flavour of hops, althpugh mild for an APA. Mildly bitter and fruity aftertaste. OK.
