Craft Clarkenwell. A sample bottle generously shared by Frederic and Tom - cheers guys! Light haze on this gold beer, little bubbly white head. Palate is light and crisp. Semi dry. Lovely fresh hops - Citra? Light but vibrant orange and lemon with a trace of skunk. Mild minerally crisp finish. A lovely pale ale. I’ve really missed Revelation Cat and Alex - they seemed to have all but disappeared over the 18 months. Hope this is the start of the comeback.

Gushing. Heller Malz- und Hopfenbeginn mit starker Karbonisierung. Schnell abflachend, spät werden die Hopfennoten blumig. Trinkbar aber eher unspannend. 8/8/9/7/10/8

Bottle courtesy of Alex420 - thank you! Part of a group tasting with the RB crew and staff at Birreria Paradiso Georgetown, thank you for volunteering! This was most people’s favorite of the night, certainly the best of the session beers. Although everyone liked the Nintendo labels, most pointed out that this dark purple label suggested something more like an imperial stout rather than a pale ale. Most people commented on the strawberry. marshmallow, perfume and other fruits in the aroma. All commented that the beer has a lot of flavor for a 4.5%er, with grapefruit and other citrus; one person found it too bitter. Very tasty.

Bottle. Clear golden with tiny floaties with big foamy white head. Aroma is malt, fruit, hops, citrus, pine and grapefruit. Flavour is malt, fruit, little sweet, hops, grapefruit, pine, little citrus and medium bitter.

Bottle at A Drink To The End Of Days, 121220. Hazy pale golden beer with a small white head. Hoppy floral aroma, fruity, bitter, grassy, notes of rotten eggs, citrus, hay, lemongrass, dandelions. Fresh hop flavor, citrus, pine apples, grapefruit notes, lemongrass, bitter floral notes, pears, orange peels, dandelions. Great amount of flavors considering the rather low ABV. Bitter hop finish with grass, dandelions and citrus.

Bottle provided by Travlr. Pours hazy pale orange with a medium, frothy and fizzy white head, medium retention with good lacing.

Light body and moderate carbonation.

Bottle @ Aarhus tasting. Hazy golden with a big and lasting white head and a huge amount of tiny floaties. Aroma is sweet, malty, caramel and rather hoppy - grapefruit and peach. Flavor is quite sweet and rather bitter. Dry and rather bitter finish. High carbonation. 270213

355mL thanks to Travlr via Alex. Pours full haze straw with weaker white foam. Yeast floaties. Nose is awesome : huge cantaloupe, lychee, peach, pineapple. Taste is soapy, quite bitter with some oil coating on the palate. Impressive still given abv. People seemed to be thrown off by the label.

Big white head. Hazy yellow body with visible floaties. Funky grapefruit aroma with catnip notes. Dry funky grapefruit catnip taste with resiny notes. Mid-bodied. Sharpish mealy mouthfeel. Dryish mealy funky grapefruit aftertaste with lemony notes. Nice, but a bit sharp. (0.33l bottle, shared by KnutAlbert.)

Bottled at DTTEOD Pale golden with a white head. A bit sulphuric aroma with grass, flowery hops. Light body Citric, grassy hops in the flavour. High and dry bitterness.
