Draught @ Bakushu Club Popeye, Tokyo. Rated on 5.9.2011
Hoppy, fruity aroma with grapefruit. Maybe a bit thin. Palate is low on CO2. Flavour is hoppy with exotic fruits and grapefruit. Good PA.

Bright, light orange colour, small light head. Smells hoppy and fruity. Tastes very fresh, not fruity, dry, bit watery, bitter. Fizzy carbo.

Pours orange/amber with a large, lasting head. Nose shows fruity hops at the forefront, with melon, orange blossom, grapefruit and piney notes. Underneath is faint sweet clean malt. Similarly hoppy flavours, though there’s little of the aforementioned fruit, it’s more about the piney resin. Not much malt, just some soft caramel and and toasty characters hiding under the hops. Very sharp, harsh bitterness. Carbonation is very high, leading to a dry finish. Could really use more malt. The bitterness is pretty overbearing.

From YNWA, Kolding, DK. Bottled, 010911. Golden with white head. Aroma of citrus and malt. Flavor of fruit and some caramel.

Bärnstensfärgad lätt grumlig öl med vitt skum. Doft av persika, citronskal och lite vingummi. Balanserad beska med framförallt grapefrukttoner. En lättdrucken och trevlig pale ale av amerikansk typ.

Bottle… Cloudy orange ale with a mid-sized, frothy, white head. Fantastic retention. The fruity, hoppy aroma features apricot and lemon zest accompanied by hints of white pepper and musky hops. Light to medium-bodied with energetic carbonation. The flavor is thin and watered down a bit, but balanced well with crisp, zippy, fruity hops. Finishes watery and mildly bitter. Bottle courtesy of the every generous Plovmand!

360ml bottle shared with fellow ratebeerians at Craft Beer Co., Clerkenwell. Decent, lasting head to a hazy, golden body. Aroma of lightly spiced fruits. Fresh tropical fruits in flavour followed by a refreshing bittersweet end. Medium bodied. Pleasant (London, 01.08.2011).

Joes thanks for sharing! Bottle @ home with Joes and DutchDrebus. Clear orange color, small white head. Smells light hoppy, fruity. Taste nicely bitter and fresh. Nice carbo, low to medium body.

Bottle from GBBF drunk at home. Hazy gold lasting white head. Lovely aroma. Resiny hoppy aroma. Hugely drinkable in the mouth. Lovely balanced drinkable hoppy interesting pale ale. I love really good drinkable APAs. After a long day at work, and as the first beer of the day it was great.
