Commercial Description:

355 ml bottle, bought at Ølkonsortiet, Aalborg. Amber color, nice white head. Aroma is fine mild hops, and caramel malt. Flavor is mild hops, fruit, malt, hints of citrus. Fine carbonation. A bit thin.

12oz bottle served in an English pint glass. Crystal clear light amber pour with a huge off-white head. Smells of light citrus and biscuit. Has a nutty, fruity flavor which is very refreshing. Leaves a nice spiderweb of lacing. Nicely balanced.

Bottle, bottled first week of January, I think. Remarkably fresh tasting if that’s the case. Aroma of citrus, toast, bready malt. Flavor more the same, playfully fruity, tinglingly bitter. Very airy, refreshing. Semi-dry, lightly bitter finish. Very nice.

Bottle. Pours a light brown with a small head. Aroma and flavor of toasted malt, buttery toast, and faint flowery hops. Wheat cracker in the flavor. Quite tasty and a similar beer to Troegs Pale Ale. Would try again for sure!

On a very hoppy night of beers this beer was a nice change. The Denver Pale Ale pours a amber color with a huge head. I have no idea if this was just a freak thing but both my and my friend’s beer took about 15 minutes to pour. It was a real head too, very frothy and full. On first taste I found It was smooth and a little sweet. It was well balanced and sat very nicely on the palate. It finished with a slight bitterness.
