UPDATED: JAN 8, 2007 <bottle tasted at home> Interesting pale ale with a wonderfull citrus like aroma and a great flowery taste. An abit too fizzy sensation, but it helped to leave to beer in the glass for abit and wait for it buzz off. One of the better pale ales i’ve tasted.

[Tasted with svoger.] First time I tasted this beer I thought it was an IPA, because it has a nice and fresh hoppy flavor, so for me it’s an IPA and a good one, indeed!

On tap at Ol Molevitten, Aarhus, August 2006. Orangey colour. I thought this was more American than English in style. There’s classic resinous hop character in the aroma. A melange of citrus fruit - oranges and grapefruit - and tropicals dominate the palate but there are some earthy edges too and a firm malt base. Solid as a rock and very well brewed.

Draught. Orange with a nice, dense white head. Aroma of flowery meadows, lemon grass and a little malt. Flavour of oranges, fruit, meadow, citrus and flowers. Fresh and light.

Golden colour. Hoppy taste with some yeast . Very carbonated for the style nut overall quite nice.

Pours a slightly cloudy gold, with a very bubbly off white head. Soft aroma of apricot, grapefruit and yeast. The body is pretty unbalanced, with winey alcohol, horrible overcarbonation and a metallic bitterness. The finish is quite crisp, with some floral hops finally coming through, and also some caramel. Quite disappointing in all, any english hop flavour was unable to be enjoyed because of the ridiculous carbonation.

(Draught at Bartof, Copenhagen) Pours hazy to clear amber with a white head. Smell: Spices and roses. Hops. pickled gherkin. Chanterelles in the background. Jam and sweet goosberrys. Taste: Hops and some butter. Warm and malty aftertaste with a really light afterbitterness. Salt and flowers.
