3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a pint glass.
5 Barrel Pale Ale pours a pale and transparent copper color with a medium sized fluffy white head.
There is a spiced malt nose with a bit of a citrus hoppy kick.
The flavor starts with a grainy malts, with a faint sweetness. There is a bit of spice and pine, and a light citrus bitterness toward the end. It is a fairly simple beer, and not anything that I
The mouthfeel can best be described as not offensive. It is light bodied, somewhat smooth but still a bit grainy, with a medium carbonation.
This is fairly bland and just not that exciting.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pours a clear copper, with white head. Settles quickly with thin rings of lacing. Aroma is hoppy, mildly resinous, with a pleasant, nutty malt background. Flavor is mildly hoppy up front, malty, nutty, toffee finish, with mild medicinal/menthol tones. Flavor is more complex and balanced than I remember. Moderate carbonation, medium body, and crisp texture. Fairly drinkable. Taste more interesting than I recall, a malty pale ale.

355ml bottle (Viisi Pennia, Helsinki) - shared by mjs - thanks!
Bold orange, brief tight off-white head. Pleasant sweet caramelly fruity hops, and a bit zesty, in the aroma. A bit dull and watery in the palate, some gentle carbonation crispens it up. Simple sweet caramelly barley, simple gentle detail-less hops - just sweet and fruity. Quite nondescript apart from the buttered bread finish. OK bitter tingle too. A bit boring, to be honest. Should not be in the "English"-anything style, this is just middle of the road "American".

Bottle @ Olutravintola Kukko, Kemi 11.5.2013. Hazy orange coloured beer with a small head. Nice aroma of fruity hops and some caramel malts. Quite sweet flavour with caramel and pleasant but not very strong bitterness. Sweetness with bitterness, soft, oily mouthfeel with low carbonation makes this a quite nice brew.
