3.26/5  rDev -13.1%
look: 2 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
Pours amber with a small white head.
Nose shows toffee, caramel, herbal earthy hops, orange marmalade. Moreish.
Pretty similar flavours, more slight caramel and bready malt with some earthy hops underneath.
Could use more carbonation.
Not bad, easy drinking.

500 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.8%. Brewed with Summit and Amarillo hops from the Yakima Valley. Deep golden colour, moderate white head. Fairly strong hoppy aroma, notes of pine and spruce forest after a rain shower, also hints of grapefruit. The flavour is medium dry, with a fairly moderate but still quite sharp bitterness, lasting throughout the long and dry aftertaste.

Lightly veiled orange appearance, with an average white foam.
Citrus smell, tangerine, orange marmalade, grapefruit.
Good taste, good bitterness, not too long in the aftertaste.
Again a lot of citrus fruit, malt, a bit of english crystal.
Easily drinkable.

L- Clear, pours with thin white head, the body rather like it's been 'Tango-d' having a distinct orange hue.
S- Subtle to me, just some very light fruit notes.
T- Contemporary hop profile, builds slowly on my palate, finish is quite sour/dry.
F- Despite the sour/dry finish, it has enough richness of body that the former does not dominate or overwhelm.
O- This would suit a sweltering summer day, as a refresher. It fits the contemporary style of an American Pale.
500ml bottle. Bought from the Waitrose shop beneath John Lewis dept. store on Oxford St London. BB 31/3/2020

L: Pours a crystal clear amber with a one-finger white head that recedes to a 2mm cap. Lots of lacing. A couple of streams of bubbles. Shiny when held to the light. The colour and clarity are beautiful.

S: Made with Amarillo and Summit hops so there is plentiful soft fruit aroma. As the beer warmed I thought the nose would develop but it seemed to diminish instead.

T: Spicy, fruity, biscuity flavours with a hefty level of bitterness.

F: Medium body. Smooth. A couple of pints go down nicely. Extremely drying.

O: A pleasing cross between an American pale ale (citrus, floral, hoppy, moderate carbonation) and an English pale ale (lowish ABV, solid malt base, earthy bitterness). Too bitter for more than 1-2 pints.
