A: This one pours deep amber, almost copper with a large pale tan head that sinks into nice lacings.

S: Actually more citric notes than I would have guessed from an English Pale Ale, almost American in style. Then there's a healthy dose of caramell malt, semi-sweet and other fruits; green and red apples for example. Buttery.

T: Again the American-style floral hops together with the English. Citric fruits, apples and perhaps some nettles. Nice caramell malt together with some bitter hops. Again, buttery.

M: Aftertaste is medium long and holds a dry bitterness. Body is medium while carbonation milder. Very smooth and creamy.

O: This is yet another high-quallity beer from Ängö.

The beer is clear amber, an off-white head leaving little lacing and has small curtains.

The smell starts citric, some grape-fruit then nettles and hay.

Tastes initially bread, then lemon, apples and calm herbs.

A small carbonation, small fizzy bubbles, a fresh feeling, medium body and a dry finish.

A well balanced relaxing EPA with a nice dry finish.

The liquid is clear, the colour copper. The finger thick head is white and compact. Some lacing occurs.

The smell got some American /New Zeeland citric notes. Fresh, clean and balanced.

The taste starts with hoppy dry notes that makes me think of an weaker English IPA: Lots of elegant bitter/dry hops. The hops fade a bit leaving room for a fine English earthy semi-sweet malty flavour. Hints of exotic fruits; mostly apricots. The finish is dry with a hint of caramel.

The carbonation is medium strong; the small bubbles very refreshing. The liquid is mid-smooth.

A very drinkable summer beer with an interesting citric addition to the classic English flavours.
