3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft at Monks. Slightly hazy copper pour with just some wandering foam for a head. Very juicy and very dry. Red plums. Elephant ear mushrooms. Caramel sweetness in the middle but a big floral hop bite to finish. Full and crisp for a nondescript Pale Ale. Hopped up quite a bit. Very nicely blended.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled (thanks Kimi!). Amber colour, small white head. Aroma is brutal grass and floral notes. Flavour is grassy, bready, quite dry earthyness. Too hoppy for an APA, too little alcohol for IPA. Yet a very good beer for hopheads (which I am not, sadly).
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Amber pour with a short tan head. Aroma is floral hops, tea leaves light toffee and citrus notes. Taste is citrus and floral hops, tea, faint pine, toffee notes and sweet malt. Body is medium with a soft, creamy carbonation. Ends with more floral hops, toffee, citrus notes, light pine, tea and light spicy hops.

(Draught at Bishop’s Arms Folkungagatan, Stockholm, 1 Aug 2012) Pale amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of citrus, toast and grainy malt. Malty, fruity taste with citrus, grainy malt, peaches and a generous spicy bitterness in a dry finish. Medium body, quite dry. Refreshing and tasty. Nice one.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 ounce bottle. This is well filtered darker golden with a nice beige head. Some lacing. This beer is all about citrus hops. They are big for the style and are bitter. Caramel builds as the beer warms but never equals the hops. A hint of cinnamon. A quality pale ale.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft: Light orange peel aroma. Clear amber, thin head. Orange peel flavor, moderate strength, not too bitter. Straight forward, balanced, sessionable. Very nice.
