De un color anaranjado, esta cerveza presenta un dedo espumoso de retención media. De cuerpo ligero y alta carbonatación. Aromas cítricos y a malta. En boca resulta astringente.

At Beodo Craftbeer, Seville. In Shaker glass. With yakisabi with iberic secret. Soft taste, very drinkable, some citric. Maybe drinking a 60 IBUs beer before this one (Sansa) numbed my taste, but found it a bit weak

Pours a murky golden-yellow with a foamy white head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. Foamy rings of lace line the glass on the drink down. Tiny particles of sediment are seen suspended in the beer after the pour. Smell is of malt, yeast, and earthy hop aromas. Taste is much the same with yeast, floral, spice, and earthy hop flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of yeast and hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer that is much more yeast and earth forward versus the hops that are present in this one.

Very nice lemony hops (sorachi?) on the first pours. End of the bottle got kinda murky though.

Hazy yellow, fluffy white foam. Ripe melon and mango, hints of straw. Legit Italian spring water, candy-hop, bitter finish.

Pours a clear, gold color. 1/3 inch head of a white color. Good retention and decent lacing. Smells of hops, hint of resin, sweet malt, hint of alcohol, and a hint of pale malt. Fits the style of an American Pale Ale. Mouth feel is smooth and crisp, with an average carbonation level. Tastes of hops, resin, hint of pine, sweet malt, hint of pale malt, hint of alcohol, and a hint of tea. Overall, good aroma, body, and blend.

My first from Toccalmatto. Categorized here as a pale ale, described on the label as an "intensely hoppy blonde ale".
A - Hazy, somewhat disturbing light brown pour into 2 pint glasses. Small white head retains fine as a mostly full cap, bits of lace left.
S - Kind of a weak scent of grapefruit, apple, herbal, bread, toffee.
T - A little better. Citrus/grapefruit forward, herbal hop, apple flavors, weird sweet grainy malt. Not bad, seems off though.
M - Lowish carbonation, decent body, low bitterness, somewhat chalky feel.
O - Meh, not bad but just seems off and pretty weak overall. Reminds me of mediocre homebrew.

75cl brown bottle purchased from Domus Birrae in Rome.
Pours a bright, but faintly hazed golden colour, with a fine head of white that leaves minimal lacing. Carbonation is also pretty minimal, even when swirled, only light streams form. Body is fairly weak, but then it's only about 5% ABV.
Nose is very pleasant indeed. Clean, bright and crisp citrus, with sweet lemon dominant. then underneath is a lovely interleaved floral character: fragrant but still fresh, with a little greenness thrown in. It reminds me a little of a pleasant NZ hop character, although they don't mention what it is on the label. Very nice.
Taste is even better though. Clean, bright, fresh and lovely, while maintaining a lightness and a cleanness throughout. More citrus/lemonade characters, slight upturns of herbal greenness with a spritzy finish. Feel is very light throughout, and the aftertaste has a slightly aspirin quality to it, but overall, it's remarkably fresh, fragrant and flavoursome for only being 5% ABV.
Cracking APA, and a good example of a light, hoppy ale that you don't need to call a "Session IPA". Really nice use of hops, but with balance and drinkability. I really liked it a lot.

On-tap. Shaker glass enjoyed @ Freiburg (Barcelona). Golden color & chill haze appearance. White foam shows fairly good retention. Floral hop aroma. grassy & piney notes with citric zest tones. Light malty upfront yields to an increasing bitterness. Medium body. Moderate carbonation.Oily to watery texture. Slight spicy & fruity notes - apple & pear- in the middle as well as citric zest hues. Long resinous/citric finish & herbal notes on the aftertaste. Refreshing & easy drinkable.

On tap at Mikkeller Bar in Copenhagen... Served in a 20cl Mikkeller glass.
A: Light gold; light cream head; spotty lace.
S: Granny Smith apple peel; light citrus zest / hoppiness; inviting aroma.
T: Light hops and a touch of bread; simple and good; zest and apple notes present in aroma are also in the taste.
M: Medium-bodied; moderate carbonation; refreshing!
O: Wow... a really refreshing pale ale - would be great for summertime in Charleston.
