A strong pale ale of distinctive taste. Plenty of Goldings hops give it something extra. Like sunshine dancing on your tongue.

Bottle from Brewdog Slovensko. Aroma is medium grassy hoppy, caramel, sugary, lemon. Clear golden to amber colour. Taste is light heavy hoppy, earthy, grassy, quite refreshing. Finish is zesty, grapefruit, earthy. Overall bitter. Drinkability is higher, body medium. Maybe a little bit overcarbonated for my taste, but not too much.

0.5l bottle. This is a crystal clear one, deep champagne golden in color and it has a medium sized somewhat good looking foamy head. The aroma is more average, but it's really fresh. Some fruity nectar sweetness like juices from the silver birch. Some honey perhaps and traces of wet grass. Actually not that bad. It falls completely through in the taste unfortunately. Massively grainy, lots of boiled sweet corn and a sun-damaged flavor I'm not really found of. It has a medium oily mouthfeel and a soft to average carbonation level. A shame that little factor (the taste) was not so good. Other than that this was a nice beer. Nah, not for me. Strange this, a genre I'm actually enjoying less and less. 27.03.2013

Bottle shared with ClubGonzo. Pours a golden light amber colour with a small light beige head. Aroma of some caramel, hay and leather. Feels sweet at first and then a little dry. The flavour is still sweet and malty with grassy hops and something herbal. A bit dry aftertaste. Slick mouth feel, and has a light to medium bitterness. An okay premium bitter, but maybe too one dimensional.

Flaske fra polet, delt med skibsreder Ovesen: klar, mørk gylden med fint (men kortvarig) skum. Litt fruktaroma, men heldigvis mer smak, som er deilig fruktig og ren takket være goldings-humlen. Defiinitivt høy drikkbarhet, kan gjerne prøve denne fra cask. Solskinn på flaske? En pale ale iflg bryggeriet, en esb iflg RB. God, men ikke outstanding pga kort ettersmak.

500 ml bottle, will soon be available at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 5.0%. Clear deep golden colour, moderate white head. Grassy aroma, hints of lfowers, herbs and hay. Well balanced flavour with some malty sweetness and hints of toffee, followed by fruity and herbal Goldings hops. Easy drinking, invites you to take large sips. Quite enjoyable.

Cask with Sarah. Pours a clear amber gold with an off white head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has notes of light fruit and light pine with a backing note of earthy grains. Flavor is easy to drink light pine with grapefruit and sweet grains.
