clear to slightly cloudy yellow, giant light yellow to offwhite fluffy head.
strong hop centered aroma with citrus fruity notes, grapefruit, pine, touch of sweeter fruits, lots of fresh fruity hoppy notes. crisp but bit sweet malty balance. very solid aroma.
first thing i notice with the flavor is an aromatic hoppy bitterness, followed by a really good fullbodied crisp yet sweet malty body. super quenching and easy drinking and way less sweet fruity than i had feared. the hops are really packed in this one, with balance that makes the hops still taste more hoppy than fruity. really good pale ale and very easy drinking. probably best cold - this one is at 11celcius, i fear it could feel sweeter and more fruity if too hot.
a very very good session pale ale. probably also excellent with snacks.

Hazy yellow gold with a bubbly white head and a fruity aroma. Fizzy but smooth, tropical and citrus fruit to the juicy max, with some dry hop bitterness and a bittersweet finish.

Gulbrun med noe kremet skum. Lett og frisk. Lukter og smaker mildt av grapefrukt og andre sitrusfrukter. Forfriskende.
