Poured a creamy, coppery orange with a light head that dissipated quickly. The smell was a solid citrus and hop combo, and so was the taste. It was medium-bodied and mildly carbonated. It finished smooth with a slight and enjoyable bitter hop aftertaste. A really good pale that I’d definitely drink again.

Tap. Nose is hoppy and clean with fresh citrus. An appealing clear copper/orange color with a fine head. Medium body and bitterness. Thinness adds to the nice fresh flavour. Tangy with hops and carbonation leading to a desirably long and clean bitter citrus finish. I’m already looking forward to having this beer again.

decent pale with a lot of floral hops in the nose. the taste is also of very floral resinous hops that finishes bitter with citrus.

Aroma of citrus hops, caramel, hay and white sugar. Appearance was unfiltered translucent royal gold with 1/3 inch white head. Flavor started out with sweet caramel and citrus hop balance, moved to caramel/hay emphasis shortly thereafter and finished dry with a slight lingering bitterness. Palate was a mouthfull of rolling bubbles with a touch of liveliness. A very nice APA- wouldn’t mind have this in my fridge all the time.

Bottle. Clouded pumpkin orange with an off white head. Pine aroma, hops. Citrus and pine taste. Clean, bitter finish. A good, balanced IPA for those who aren’t looking for a beer that’s overly hoppy.

Bottle33 cl. bought @ bir&fud bottega. Pours a delightful golden pale yellow, with a lot of foam that create big bubbles and faded very fast. Fantastic aroma: fresh hops with hint of ananas, flowers, citrus, honey and earthy notes. A so great dry hopping!!! Taste is gentle, fizzy and simple, but so balanced among sweet and bitter with malt. A little salty in a generous hoppy and long-lasting finish, That’s a masterpiece.

Bottle. Hazy yellow color, beige head. Fruity aroma with oranges and caramel. Taste of floral herbs, pretty hoppy bitter end.

Pours a golden yellow with a white foamy head. Bright and Citrusy aroma. Taste is of a slight bit of malt offset by citrus and floral flavors. Subtle. Crisp dry finish very pleasant yet not extraordinary.

This one is just fine. Clean and crisp, just the right bitterness, cant wait to rate the other flavors I picked up by this same brewery later this week...

Tap pours orange gold with wire head that clings. The smell is mild but citrusy. Taste wise it is a full grainy pale ale with a fairly dense body and palate but the flavors are all hops. It is orange and light grapefruit with a light floral hay like crispness. Overall for a pale ale, awesome.
