Tap at thre Beer Temple, Amsterdam. Poured a clear medium amber with a frothy white head and lots of lace. The aroma is weak malty, yeasty with some hoppy notes. The flavour is medium bitter with a nice smooth hoppy bitter palate. Rather hoppy for a pale ale but I’m not complaining!

Sample at the Tap House Grill in Seattle. Clear dark golden pour with a medium thin creamy white head that recedes gradually to a film. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of oak and grainy malt. Medium body with an oaky character and notes of yeast and caramel malt. The finish is oaky with a peppery yeast aftertaste. Oak aging definitely improved the base beer based on my recollection of the original. Decent overall.

Clear dark brown beer, massive cream coloured head. Unusual fruity nose - a little blackcurrant! Palate is light and airy with mild crispy carbonation. More fruits - slight Dr Pepper vibe, a little blackcurrant! Trace of bubblegum ester. Not much malt. Semi dry finish. Bacon? Maybe a trace of it in the aftertaste. Unusual and interesting beer.
