Eructoblaster (2518) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - JUN 17, 2013
Bottle - 500ml. Beautiful cloudy golden/orange body with an average off-white frothy head. Sharp, fresh hoppy aroma with malty, grainy, and citrusy hints. Its sharp hoppy taste carries grainy, woody, and grapefruit notes. ends with a long, robust bitter finish. Well done.

50cl bottle poured into a Samuel Adams Perfect Pint. Sparkling pale gold with ample white head. Aroma is piney hops. Flavor is light and hoppy. High carbonation, medium body, smooth. Long bitter finish. This is a very nice pale ale, an excellent example of the style. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Amber, slightly hazy. Wonderful flowery hop aroma. Fullbodied taste, but not overwlming, considering the strength.

Foffern (772) - Bodø, NORWAY - APR 25, 2013
On tap at Naboen, Bergen. Pours a hazy orange colour with a light beige and creamy medium head. Has a nice fruity aroma with peach, tropical fruits, bubble gum, straw and is pretty malty in the background. The flavour is sweet and fruity at first with apricot and sweet spices. In the aftertaste there’s hay and hops. Nice and pleasant. Has a rich and soft mouth feel, and a lasting medium bitterness. A fruity, rich and balanced pale ale.

Knoxovic (1) - Aberdeen, SCOTLAND - MAR 9, 2013 does not count
Nice pale, sharper than expected (though not overly so) and less hoppy. Nice cloudiness to it, tasted better as it warmed in the letter stages. One I’d like to try again
