April 2016: 330 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, stavanger. ABV is 4.6%, IBU 61. Slightly hazy deep golden colour, moderate to low white head. Hoppy aroma, notes of pine, spruce, mango, grapefruit. Medium dry, very hoppy and resinous flavour, notes of pine needle extract and grapefruit, hints of tropical fruits. Bitter finish.

Cloudy appearance, due to it being an unfiltered beer. citrusy aroma with a good bout of hops. flavour is quite bitter yet pleasant at the same time with lingering tropical notes. a good IPA yet not the best.

An orangey-amber coloured beer with a white head. It smells hoppy and fresh. It has a light-body alongside crisp biscuity malts and subtle citrus and piney hops. A great session beer.

An orange color, slightly hazed. Beautiful foam hat, whit ein color, good.
Tropical hop in the smell, pineapple. Then malty notes, and some grassy hop.
In the taste, again tropical and maltiness.
Quit ebitter, and, after all, good and drinkable. Some resinous note in the aftertaste.
A bit too tropical, but non bad.

Bottle: Poured a light amber color ale with a large off-white foamy head with very good retention and some excellent lacing. Aroma consists of huge floral hoppy notes with some citrusy and fruity hops. Taste is also dominated by huge green citrus notes and some light cereal malt notes. Body is about average with excellent carbonation. I did not have any significant expectation but this pale ale what just about world-class.

500 ml bottle purchased from LCBO for $3.50 CDN. Hadn't seen this around so figured it was worth a shot. Advertised as 5.5 % ABV. Served fairly cold into glassware.

Appearance - pale golden color with some richer orange hues. A nice finger and a half of the fluffy stuff rests on top, leaving behind some streaky lacing as it descends towards the glass. Lots of lively carbonation makes a sprint for the surface. Pretty decent retention time on the head too.

Smell - not a pungent aroma but there is some grainy sweetness blended with hints of tropical fruits, of which pineapple is most prevalent.

Taste - there is some faint graininess there before giving way to tropical fruit for just a moment before becoming earthy and bitter. The bitterness lasts throughout and remains the only flavour through the aftertaste. While not bad, it's a little too bitter through to the conclusion for my liking. A balance with some more sweet malts may have made this more to my liking.

Mouthfeel - well carbonated, lively feel. Lighter than average body and a taste that sticks to the mouth. Very crisp.

Overall - a pretty good pale ale at a reasonable price point, especially for something not usually accessible. Too bitter for my tastes, but if that's your thing then I fully recommend it. I also think this beer was actually better when it was colder, since the crispness shone through better.

Coming in a 500ml brown bottle, not bottle-conditioned; BB 16/03/2015, served cool in a straight imperial pint glass. Note: “Pacific and Atlantic” hops are used in this brew, according to the back label.

A: pours a pale golden colour with very good clarity, coming with fairly smooth carbonation and a 0.5cm off-white frothy head lasting throughout the drink.
S: aromatic and light, the juicy honey-ish malt backbone with an intriguing edge of vanilla and salted cream supports the mixed fruity aroma upfront, featuring elderflower, pears, citrus, and grapefruits mainly.
T: on the softly carbonated entry, the mixed citric, lychee-shell and floral flavour is very closely ensued and taken over by the grapefruity tannic bitterness with a spicy tang, which deepens and expands on the palate to render a fantastically lingering, tannic and bitter finish benefiting from a sound fruit acidity as well. Malts remain very muted throughout the drink, leaving the stage generously for the hops and hop bitterness to shine.
M&O: softly carbonated and fairly refreshing at the same time, this medium-bodied, hop-full Pale Bitter is very well made and provides wonderful drinkability due to the tangy bitterness as far as I’m concerned.

From a 500 ml bottle to a pint glass.

A: pours a golden color with about a finger of head. A very slight haze created by particles floating in the beer... Nothing to worry about though. Lacing is pretty good.

S: hops - some citrus but faint. The bready malts are pretty strong on the nose.

T: bitter hops, resin, malts and grains.

M: average carbonation and medium body.

O: not a bad beer, but not my favorite by any stretch. I found the resin and bitter to be a little too prominent for my liking.

A: Golden with a light orange tinge, little carbonation, some floaties but relatively filtered, 4 fingers of off white head leaving a chunky lacing.

S: Very hoppy with a hot pepper heat, candied lime peel, citrus, pineapple, mango, balsam fir.

T: Hot pepper heat, lime peel, light sweetness, onion, solid white grapefruit pith bitterness that lingers on the tongue. Floral hops.

M: Medium resinous body, medium carbonation. Relatively dry, but some sweetness.

O: Well crafted beer, lots of interesting floral hops, hopped to the hilt really for a UK beer, but typical to this brewery’s style.
