Jul 21, 2008 Well it’s very drinkable! Had on cask at Novare Res in Portland, ME. I was very intrigued by the idea of the English emulating an American Pale. This stuff had a nice smooth mouthfeel, pretty bland aromas as far as hops go...i smelled a hint of citrus hop aroma, but it was still a little covered. The flavor is a little meager on the hop front too. It tastes almost like somone just combined an English pale and sierra Nevada like 50/50 and called it good. I could yard a dozen of these any night, but this one comes up short of my APA standards.

May 24, 2008 (Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 23 May 2008) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of lemon, grapefruit and grassy hops. Fruity, hoppy, floral taste with lemon, grapefruit and grassy hops in the finish. Balanced sweetness, slightly soapy. Medium body. Very nice hop character, and retaining balance throughout. Nice one!
