I had this beer on-tap in a tumbler at Draft in Belgrade.

Appearance: medium yellow hue with a dash of haze and a finger of frothy ivory foam.

Smell: malt is quite toasty; hops are perhaps earthy but a bit light in character. It’s alright.

Taste: floral hops and toasty malt combine to create a bit of a soapy character. Appropriate for a pale ale, if that’s the kind of pale ale you like.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a decent carbonation and creaminess.

Overall: not too bad a pale ale, if you like the more floral and toasty variety, kinda like a classic English pale ale.

 

 

 

Served too cold, let it warm up for a better flavour and drinking experience.

Pours a slightly cloudy golden color with a modest head that shows decent retention.
The nose first reveals a touch of caramel and bread, thus displaying its malt qualities typical of an APA. Fruity aromas of citrus, stone fruit and a touch of grass and pine open up its hops qualities.
The taste is less malt forward than the aroma. Instead, the hops flavors are the main characters amidst a clean and dry cracker and bready malt backbone, mostly neutral and less caramelized than the aroma would suggest. Hoppy flavors of citrus pith, grapefruit and orange, as well as notes of peach and nectarine. A moderate but firm bitterness adds balance, along with notes of pine and grass.
Medium bodied with a crisp and dry finish. The carbonation is on par.
Overall, a solid and easy to drink hoppy Pale Ale.

 

Hazy golden color with off-white head. Aroma has some yeast and slightly fermented, tart fruits. Taste is also slightly tart and astringent, some grains in the background, earthy hops with light bitterness on the finish. Medium body and carbonation. After it sits for a while, the yeast notes are not so present anymore, leaving some room for the fruity hop flavors to shine through. Overall it's a decent pale ale.
