An orange beer with an OK, but disappearing light brown head. The aroma is sweet with a sharp hop note. The flavor is sweet spicy and hoppy, again somewhat sharp, but also notes of fruit in the back ground - primarily oranges. The body is boringly thin.

Tasted like a lighter version of an IPA, pleasant taste overall. Malts, hops, and citrus are present, as well as the hint of nuttiness. The hints of nutty tones are present in the aroma with a light hop scent. Very drinkable pale ale.

Orangy brown, decent creamy head, some lace. Delicious pale ale - hoppy nose. Hoppy, malty, both very balanced. Nothing wrong here, well-done pale ale.

Bottled. Dark brown, small beige head. Aroma of coffee and chocolate. Sweet with thick mouthfeel, dominated by caramel and molasses. Roasty and with solid maltiness. Dryish licorice finish. Enjoyable.

Bottle Pours a hazy copper golden color with a very large cream toned head that lasts a long time. Aroma ia a mild citrusynote that is not as hoppy as I expected from the style. Lightly toasted grains and a little grassiness. Flavor is a more rich maltiness but balanced well with a strong deep hop character. Fairly smooth and a bit strong on the carbonation. Mildly bitter trailer.

Pours a huge light brown head above a deep dark garnet colored body. The aroma is malty bringing bread dough and molasses to mind. The flavor is balanced, yet slightly to the sweet side with a bit of bitterness towards the end as it fades into a coffee finish. Thanks to Bück Dich for sending this one.

Bottle Pours a hazy pale yellow. Strangely almost identical to the ZON whitbeir I just had. Huge white fulffy head. Faint light grain and cereal aromas. Very easy on the hops. Flavor was similar. Plain and bland. There is some kind of sour twang in there as well. Bitter at the end, but not in a good hoppy way. Dissapointing
