Althea is a modern American Pale Ale. Unlike many pale ales, Althea is low on bitterness, yet massively hoppy on the aroma. Althea is a beer that can be enjoyed by the pint or by the glass!

[33cl can from Beer52.] A cloudy straw coloured pour with a long lasting thick white head; stone fruit aroma; apricot taste with a little citrus; then a light bitterness with a touch of almond. A refreshing pale ale.

330ml can from Beer52. Hazy light gold with white head, good retention. There are soft doughy malts alongside a stone fruit and citrus hop flavour and a light yeast tang to it. Medium bodied, soft mouthfeel, somewhat drying. Ok but lacks a bit of spark.

Hazy yellow pour with a large, fluffy, white head. Aroma is grapefruit, malt/grain. Taste is grapefruit with quite a lot of malt in the aftertaste. OK overall.

Bottiglia. Un arco olfattivo dominato dal luppolo e dallo speziato. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta ed è persistente. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana media. La parte liquida è opalescente. Bollicine medio-fini costituiscono la forma del perlage. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è carico. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di amaro. Il retrogusto è intenso. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, luppolo, erba, agrumi e limone.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is citrussy hops, some lemon, floral notes, soft pale malt, with some tropical notes. Flavour is light sweet and moderate bitter. Body is medium. Nicely crisp and citrussy Session IPA, light and very refreshing. Goes down very well.
