bottled, cloudy yellow gold color with an amazing fluffyl white head a lot of lace and keeps until ends. Aroma is complex, fruity, honey, citrus and hops. Hints of apricot and lime. Flavor is balanced between sweety fruit and a soft hoppy finish. Medium bodied and low carbonation. mouthfell has short bitterness.. lovely.. :)

On tap at a beer tasting at the wildeman. Pale clear pour. Small white head. Bitter aftertaste.

Draft at In De Wildeman. Clear golden pour with bubbly white head. Aroma is citrus, fruit and hops. Flavour is mainly bitter and light fruity with a long bitter finish

Tap. Slightly hazy amber with medium off-white head. Flavour is malt, caramel, fruit, hops, little citrus and a little bitter.

In short: A blonde summer thirst quencher.
How: Tap at Rattle ’N’ Hum, NY
The look: Clear blonde body topped by a small white head
In long: The moderately hoppy nose is a bit grapefruits and a bit floral. Taste crisp honeyed cereals, sandy grapefruity hops, notes of fresh pineapples and dried bananas, minerals sensation, low bitterness level, dry finish. There was nothing remarkable in this beer but it is nonetheless the type of beer I could drink gallons of. Drinkability is obviously what this beer is aiming for. It was a very hot day and this ordinary smooth pale ale was exactly what I needed. Overall I thought this was a rather ordinary American Pale Ale yet I could have drank 6 pints of this in a row. Some days I feel like I’m a drunk trapped in a an even drunker body.

66cl bottle, no BBE info
Quite fresh and fruity aroma with peach. Mouthfeel is quite thin. Refreshing and pleasant taste consists of some exotic fruits and peaches. Slightly too sweet on some sips, but otherwise enjoyable drink for a summer day.

bottle, pours a hazy yellow gold, with small white head. Aroma is clover honey, and a soft butterscotch. Flavor is balanced, with a soft hopped finish. Medium bodied and very drinkable. Notes of honey throughout balanced by a soft bitterness. Overall a solid effort, although unremarkable.
