Bottle consumed on May 4, 2012. Thanks to _angst_/rlgk!Hazy golden color, creamy white head. Belgian yeast, estery, dough, phenolic, clove, acidic scent. Belgian yeast, mineral, sweet, apricots taste. Spritzy mouthfeel, low bitterness.American Pale Ale in style? I would say more a belgian blonde or something, or this bottle has rocked it’s own little way in the APA class.

Bottled (thanks omhper!). Golden colour, mediumsized white foamy/creamy head. Aroma is fruity, quite malty and mild vegetables and honey. Flavour is fruity, wooden, herbal and some mild vegetably notes. A bit homebrew feeling over it.

Bottled (Petalax)
Slightly hazy orange-golden color, good white head. Dusty-yeasty, a bit grassy hoppy aroma. Light-bodied. Grassy, grapefruity bitterness, not totally fresh, light notes of vegetables. Slightly "homebrewish", otherwise ok.

Bottled, thanks rlgk! Hazy pale amber, huge gushing head. Fruity medicinal nose with minerals and grapefruit. Fairly sweet with rounded mouthfeel. Sweaty grapefruit before a really bitter finish with inky edges.

Bottled, thanks rlgk! Hazy golden, mid sized head. Mid sweet with light-medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Crystal malt lies under a thin blanket of tropical fruit hops. Low-medium bitterness. Flawless, but basic APA.

Bottle at Omhper’s - Very dark brown, almost black, in colour. Roasted malt, plain chocolate and something strange that I can’t put my finger on in the aroma. Roasted and quite bitter taste with notes of plain chocolate and roasted malt.

330 ml bottle courtesy of rlgk. Pours hazy golden brown with a rather small fizzy white head that quickly dissipates without leaving any trace on the glass. Smell is sweet and malty with light bread, plums, caramel and lemon peal. Taste is malty sweet with tropical fruits, hints of bread, yeasty esters, plums and orange zest. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium to heavy carbonation. Finish is slightly sweet and tiny bitter with some tropical fruits and bread. Not close to any pale lager I have ever tasted. More fruity, yeasty and way richer. Kinda like a california common...
