Fra fat på Cafe Fiasco (prøvebrett). Lys gyldengulbrun. Svakt uklar. Filmskum. Søt & god aroma av pærer & fersken. Smaken det samme. Litt tørr & bitter etter hvert. Virker litt kunstig.

On tap at Kristiansand Ølfestival. It pours a hazy, dark golden body under a dense, off-white head. Peaches, pine cones and some malts in the aroma. Nice but perhaps a tad one-dimensional. Nice carbonation, full-bodied and semi-sweet on the palate, with pale malts in the back of the flavor. Pine cones and peaches too, stretching far into the finish. A nice, fruity beer, not the most refreshing pale ale I’ve had, but sure nice. 150822

On tap at Taps Trondheim. Aroma is very fruity with a huge peach and nectarines stone fruit character. Some lighter citrus and pine resin notes. Some medium light caramel malt notes with some light toasted crackers and honey. This smells like what happens when you stress the yeast used in heady topper (not necessarily a bad thing). Pours a hazy, slightly muddy, copper color with a medium sized, thick, slightly off white head that recedes to a thin film that lingers. Flavor is slightly sweet, but mostly dry. Some medium light caramel and toasted bread notes with lighter cracker. Medium bitterness with medium high hop flavors. Hops are mostly stone fruit like in the aroma. Lots of peaches, nectarines and apricots. Lighter plum and pear notes. Some light citrus and hop resin. Light honey notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent pale ale. If I am correct and the fruit notes are from stressed Vermont Ale Yeast or something similar, than I think less is more and they should focus on getting the character from the hops instead of the yeast.

On tap at Taps Trondheim, Trondheim. Hazy amber with a creamy, off-white head. Fruity and caramelly aroma with hints of pine and citrus. Medium sweet and surprisingly caramelly, but with nice hoppy notes too. Finishes medium bitter. Medium+ body with carbonation slightly on the soft side.

Small glass on tap at Nedre Foss Gård in Oslo. Solid lacing down the glass from a white layer. Hazy apricot coloured body. Malt-fruity nose of herbal hops and grass. Mixed flavours of dried fruits, grass, and brown malts. Bittersweet finish. Easy to drink. Satisfying (07.09.2015)

Draught @ Kristiansand Ølfestival 2015
Pours hazy copper with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, caramel, biscuit, grass, floral and grain. Taste is medium sweet and light to medium bitter with a long biscuit, caramel, floral and citrus. Taste is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Sampled from tap @ Kristiansand ølfestival 2015. Unclear orange body with a medium sized off-white head. Nice fresh and fruity aroma. Flavor is fruity, sweet malt, decent bitterness. Balanced body and OK aftertaste. All in all a nice pale ale, and served fresh it taste nice like most decent pale ale and IPA’s do.
