3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
355ml bottle. Nice bright golden amber colour with a good level white foam cap. Fruity aroma is pleasant enough as is the flavour. An easy drinking session beer.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Sample from bottle shared with VANØ Bergen. Pours golden, with a smallish head. Aroma is sweet with toffee and flowers, as well as some earthy notes. Flavour is sweet with roasted malt, caramel and nuts, and some flowery hops for the finish.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a very slightly hazy light orange with some head and medium lacing. A strong caramel and grain aroma with some malts, sugars fermented fruits. A roasty taste and regular carbonation with a medium body that dies off fast. An interesting brew, but the aftertaste (or lack thereof) doesn’t do it for me.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Draft. Light amber body with a fizzy, white head, rapidly diminishing. Aroma of toasted grain and grass. Hint of vegetables, citrus. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Dry finish, but husky grain taste and chalky texture in the finish. Not a lot going on in this beer other than some light citrus, floral notes in the taste.

Canned Tap East London 08/09/12. A golden beer with a whitish head. Lightly hoppy with a touch of soap in the nose. fruity hop flavours with a little peach. Gentle and unassuming.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
My beer came out clear but having more colour than anticipated given the previous comments. it has an almost orange/amber colour to it with little to no head. it has a very grain/cereal aroma, a bit of funk and a slight hint of roast or something close to this. All those notes drop off as soon as it hits the palate. It is a watery beer with almost no carbonation, some caramel/malted mid palate and an ever so slightly bitter finish. boring brew what else is there to say.
2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
355ml bottle. Pours a clear golden colour with minimal white head that leaves a hint of lace. Lots of grain on the nose but it’s not as off-putting as most. There’s a nice light caramel aroma underneath. There’s a hint of something herbal in there too. Pretty light on the palate with a light grain and caramel and the barest hint of something that wants to be hops. Quite disappointing but not bad by any means.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
355ml bottle from bestillingsutvalget at Vinmonopolet. Film-type layer, dotted spots at the glassware. Clear yellow gold body. Herbal hops and hints of bread to the nose. The flavour has got a rather dry character with hints of lemon and earthy malts. Dry, light bitterness to the end. Ok but not a great beer for the summertime (Tromsø, 26.08.2012).
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
This beer pours a hazy golden orange color, and a quickly vanishing fizzy head. The aroma is primarily a dull, earthy hop character that is expected for an English-style pale/golden ale, but it lacks depth. The flavor profile is more varied, with a biscuity malt base balancing against a combination of lemony, grassy, and earthy hops. The fine, prickly carbonation drowns out any sense of complexity, though. Overall, this is a light and drinkable beer, but it is mostly uninteresting.
