Nightfall (1263) - Hamburg, - JAN 20, 2012
Bottle at Home. Another great example of a german brewer that experiments a lot. Hazy golden orange with a nice dense white head. Lemon and grass aromas with a hint of tropical fruit. Teh citra hops flavour is very distinct, along with grass and straw, dry and bitter finish. Highly enjoyable and great session beer.

BeerViking (1055) - Brentford, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 20, 2012
Bottle at EBBC12. Pleasant enough, like a citrusy version of an otherwise run of the mill weissbier.

yngwie (9201) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - MAY 16, 2012
Bottle, from trade with Papsoe. A dense, two-finger off-white head sits on top of a lightly unclear golden body. Peaches, grapefruit, pine cones and a faint cat pee touch in the aroma. The flavor is quite sweetish and pale maltyness. Fruity hop flavor, lacking a bit on bitterness. Medium body, pleasant carbonation and a finish with citrus, peaches and some bitterness. A decent attempt on a pale ale, but quite far from top notch. 120516

lethe (176) - New York, USA - APR 20, 2012
Pours a very hazy pale yellow. Looks like a Pilsner or a Landbier, but the nose dispels that with way more notes of hoppy grassiness in standards of those styles. Fair amount of body to the palate and low carbonation. Flavor is very nice and is most reminiscent of a U.S. harvest ale: grassy, herbal notes and healthy dose of bitterness. Some citrus flavors as well, but mainly bitterness and grass. This is really nice and a great single hop from a German brewer. If this was a little stronger and a little hoppier it would make a great IPA. One of the best hoppy German pale ales I’ve had.
