Fluffy head on an orange colored brew. Fizzy carbonation. Light hops nose and taste- a bit orangey. Medium long lasting.

[Bottle] Hazy orange colour. Large firm head. Biscuit aroma with notes of orange zest. Tastes pretty much as it smells. Quite tasty, but the flavour is a little bit too short I think.

Bottle: Light amber with a beige head. Gentle spicy hops and simple caramalt. Quite tasty.

Bottle. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma is hoppy . The flavour is hoppy with notes of sweet caramel. Weak bitter finish.

Pours slightly orange with good white head. Aroma is hoppy with tones of fruit - very nice. TAste is a bit of a let-down from the aroma. It has a slight bitterness to begin with that enhances with some spicyness in the end

On tap. Amber unclear colour with a weak head. Very light aroma of sweet malt. Fairly flavour of sweetness, caramel and ends up light and very dull. Reminds me of a bad homebrew.

Bottle. Golden with little head. Hops and also quite fruity - a bit bitter. Also a bit of lemon taste.

Perfumey, floral, fruity aroma evokes soapy lavender and a light spiciness. Lightly hazy deep orange-tan coloured body is topped by a generous, fine bubbled, white head that recedes fairly quickly to a lasting cover with excellent lacing. Hop flavours greet the tongue initially but are joined by toasty and biscuity malt character. Bitterness is quite subdued but keeps the clean, sweet malts from being overwhelming. Floral hops last in the aftertaste. Effervescent, lively carbonation engages the mouth and keeps it feeling fresh. Definitely more in the British tradition this is a decent and quaffable pale ale. Cellar temperature. Tulip glass. Bottle (M.h.t. 29.09.05 / B92, Ølbutikken, Aug-05).
