3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
355ml bottle from Systembolaget in Kiruna, Swedish Lapland. Dense and bubbly white head with satisfying foam stand and with some display of lacework. Slightly cloudy, golden body. Aromatic with juicy malts and fruity hops. Gently hopped flavour throughout with succulent citrus fruits and notes of pine, carefully added by spice-herbal dryness beneath. Smooth and long- lasting finish of bitter dryness. Rounded and a bit foamy to the palate. A pleasure to drink this one (Tromsø, 22.02.2010)

12 oz. copper pour from bottle. Well balanced in all respects, excelling on both the nose and palate. Hoppy bitterness is balanced against light notes of fruit, grass and spice. Solid, solid beer.
3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Its a nice golden color, kind of cloudy. A medium-ish white head. Has a malty aroma, not too strong tho. Pretty bitter, malty, wood taste. Overall its good. I like it.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours golden orange-yellow with a white head. The aroma is grassy and resiny hops, but is a little faint. The flavor is citrus and grassy hops. There is medium bitterness with a nice orange flavored aftertaste. There is also some light pine flavors in the beer. Medium mouthfeel and low carbonation.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
A: The pour is a hazy, pale golden color with a fluffy white head and amazing lazing.
S: The smell is very citrusy, mostly orange and lemon, along with a fair amount of spicy hops. The malt smell is present, but definitely not the main attraction.
T: The taste is fairly light, but enjoyable. There are the same citrus and spicy hop flavors that were present in the nose, and a nice bready malt.
M: The body is a bit thin and light, and the carbonation is quite abundant.
D: This is a great session pale ale. I haven’t had one of these in quite awhile, but I remember why I used to enjoy it so much.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pale golden color with a nice thick white head. Aroma is of hops, pine, and a little citrus. Flavor is of nice crisp hops, malts, and pine. Has a hop finish. I’d have to say that I’d consider this to be a session style IPA.
