Clear orange amber color. Smell is sweet and musky. Tastes different, lightly sweet. Very watery with a thin body. Can’t really tell this is a pale ale. Could use a beer with more body and taste right now, though. Not too impressed. Wondering if I’m missing something, because everyone else seems to be able to taste something that I’m just not right now. Will need to sample again later.

Amber pour with small thin white head. Light malty and sweet nose. Flavor was subtle with light hints of hops sweet malt and mild caramel. Nice smooth mouth feel with lighter body. Just a touch of hops at the finish.

Pours a lightly red copper color with a small off-white head. Slightly spiced caramel malt aroma. Flavor is a light malty taste at first, maybe a little peppery and sweet. A nice transition to a small hop finish that doesn’t linger long and leaves little bitterness.

Bottle. Bronze color with small, wispy off white head. Slightly malty and oaky aroma. The malt and hops seemed to be pretty balanced with a strong oak taste, and some nutty notes. The oak flavor seems to intensify as it warms, to the point that the last few drops can taste like licking an oak barrel. Went well with the pot roaste stew I ate it with, and would work well with similar dishes.

(Bottle 65 cl) Clear, amber golden with tiny, floating impurities and a small, creamy, off-white head. Aroma of overripe fruit and caramel. Medium-bodied with notes of caramel and overripe fruit. Dry, clean finish with only a discreet bitterness. Nice and quaffable. 190408

Draught Rim of whitish foam, pale amber-chestnut beer. Discreet hoppy nose, flowery, just a touch grapey, very complex, yet subtile. Flowery, discretely hopped IPA, ends on a slight carameled chestnut note. Light to medium bodied, sweetish aftertaste. Nice, subtle, clean. English in stead of overpowering.

Hazy deep amber with tiny white head. Sweet fruity aroma with caramel, hops and grapefruit notes. Sweet flavor with caramel, hops and grapefruit notes. Light mild chocolate notes aswell. Ends bitter. Well balanced.
