Sunny and easy-going California in a glass. Five hops - Bravo, Citra, Summit, Centennial and Chinook - all late enough to add their 200% into aroma. Enjoy instead of work!

Old rating from 15-03-16 - 500ml bottle, found & brought home from St Petersburg. Pours cloudy amber colour with a off white head. Aromas of citrus, tropical fruits and flowers. Tastes of malt, spice, herbs, pine and orange with a fruity hoppy bitterness leading to a dry bitter aftertaste. Overall very nice, but far from the best APA I've ever had.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is fruity and mild piney hops with citrus, bready pale malt, some grapefruit and a little caramel. Flavour is light to moderate sweet with a medium bitterness. Body is medium. Pleasant classic APA, malts & hops.

330ml bottle. Pours almost clear orange with a tall off-white head. Aroma is citrusy-floral hops and malt. Taste is caramel, grapefruit, floral hops. Quite subdued really. Reminds me more of an English-style IPA.

0,5l bottle from K-Supermarket Lasihytti. This version seems to be 5.3%, as far as I understand anything from the bottle. There's a date on the bottle, so I guess this one is bottled on 09.03.2020. Light amber, bit orange beer with medium natural white head. Aroma has pine, malts, caramel and some citrusy notes. Flavor has sweet caramel malts, pine and some fruity notes. Medium body, soft and smooth, not very bitter nor much hops. Decent.

Prinzipiell ein ganz ordentliches Pale Ale, dem aber dennoch ein bisschen fehlt um richtig gut zu sein. Dennoch fein trinkbar und erfrischend.
