A premium pale ale with lots of aroma, bitterness and hop flavour. Made with late "Galaxy" hops from Australia, then balanced with plenty of "Brewer's Gold" from Germany.

Hazed golden color with a creamy white layer on top. Lovely lacing. Some butterscotch, citric and fruity. Medium body and a soft carbonation. Tad sweet and a fine bitterness. Partly destroyed by the butterscotch.

Flaska inköpt av frun i Dublin. Ljust bärnstensfärgad vätska med fingertjockt skum. Bröd och karamellkola i doften. Lätta toner av mjuk fruktkaka i smaken och en ganska påtaglig och blommig beska. Påminner definitivt mer om en engelsk bitter i både smak och färg.

On tap at The Bar With No Name, pours a clear yellow with a small white head. Nose is light, with some floral notes. Flavour is very floral, with loads of flowery and almost minty qualities. Pretty interesting and drinkable. Nice stuff.

Bottle, thanks to Cuso. Aroma gives me the impression of old hops. Clear yellow to golden colour, poor head. Taste is not good, astringent, sourish. Hard to perceive anything beyond that. I did not like this. For the love of hops I do not understand how are my notes so different from others’, but I will leave them as is, since it was 2 months ago. Hot candidate for a rerate someday.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Poured a clear light amber with a frothy white head and some broken lace with a few bubbles. The aroma is big citrus grassy hop. The flavour is medium bitter with a citrus hop, light pepper spice palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A perfect summer ale. Highly drinkable.

Bottle. Golden beer with a good head and a fizzy body. The aroma is bitter and yeasty, and the flavour is very well hopped with a long bitter finish. Overall a really good well hopped golden beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
