Despite Simplex being an ale, it has all the characteristics of an old-styled pils. It is a blond, unfiltered, unpasteurized, hoppy and bitter beer that remains low in alcohol. Resulting in a straw blonde, highly drinkable beer with plenty of flavor and character.
Taste: Refreshing, light and with a firm bitterness

330ml bottle. Cloudy, pale orangey, golden colour with average, frothy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Sweet-ish, fruity hoppy and malty aroma, notes of apricot, hints of peach, a spicy yeasty touch, husky overtones. Taste is bitter hoppy, slightly spicy yeasty, fruity and minimally husky, slightly diluted hints of apricot and mirabelle. Refreshing, light and minimally watery, but quite flavourful and nicely dirty.

Tåkete Gulbrun med høyt tynt hvitt skum. Lukter papir, gjær, karamell og krydder. Middels fylde og bitterhet. Kjennes ut som det er mer alkohol i denne enn 4.5%. Noe rå alkoholsmak. Lett søtlig, aprikos, tørket frukt og noe sitrusbitterhet. Middels lang. Gjær og alkohol i avslutningen.

Slightly hazy yellow color medium white head. Aroma of black pepper, raw bead, mixed citrus. Taste is lightly bitter peppery summer fruit. Far more flavor than your average kolsch. Is there such a thing as an India style kolsch?
