Amber look with a nice head. Intense flowery aroma along with grape fruit, and sweet toffee. Flavor is nicely complex, with a very solid malt blend that balances the hobby bitterness nicly. Overall the beer is very complex and enjoyable, and the malty toffee/hobby flowers balances it out perfect. Nice!

Nice Golden color, nice white head. On the hoppy end of the pale ale spectrum for sure, but very well made. Really nice.

It has a Great aroma but the flavor is too bitter and has a bit of cardboard in it... I hope that’s just because it might be old.

tourtrappist (34) - SWEDEN - APR 6, 2013
Quite faint aroma of cloveish hops but the taste catches up. Citric and rather bitter hops on top of a moderate maltbase gives this PA a strong and charismatic taste for its style. Not all the way to an IPA, but a bit :-) A good one!

On draft at Nano: pours clear dark golden, minimal head. Pine, grapefruit, caramel malts, fresh green on the nose. More of the same on the tongue with hop bitterness and herbal, earthy notes. Distinct Lagunitas but nothing spectacular. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

musinj6 (309) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - JAN 4, 2013
Pours a golden clear with 1-2 finger white head and heavy lacing. Bitter grapefruit hops drive throughout. Toasted, bready malt flavors. Medium bodied with sticky mouthfeel. Very long finish. Respectable Pale Ale!

On tap @ Ölrepubliken - Amber with a foamy head. Nice mix of citrus, pine and caramel in the aroma. Very well balanced taste with malt toffee and notes of peach, grapefruit. Really nice pale ale.

Lukaduke (1021) - Portland, Maine, USA - SEP 26, 2012
Pours a deep golden copper color with a two finger head that laces down the glass... On the nose there is some upfront pungent citrusy grapefruit thats falls into a bit of sweet wheaty malt. On the palate its got a really nice mouthfeel with juicy pine and citrus leading into an earthy malty bitterness. Well balanced with a complex set of flavors.

355ml Bottle - Amber with a foamy head. Grapefruit, pine and toffee in the aroma. Nicely balanced taste with a solid malt backbone and notes of peach, grapefruit and toffee. Refreshing and well made.
