A- Clean and clear with a nice off white head
S- citrusy hop aroma that's a little skunky.
T- Same as smell the citrusy hops prevail although a bit dirty.
M- This one has a refreshing crisp feel to it. A Mello but firm aftertaste hangs for a few.
O- Not over or underwhelming. The look and feel unfortunately outshined other, and in my mind, more important attributes. I'll drink it again but won't seek it out.

Small sample, on tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Deep golden colour, large head. Lovely hoppy and spicy aroma and flavour - an excellent beer, as far as I could tell. Will rerate as soon as I get a bigger sample (had to drive tonight).

Hops, tea and spice in the aroma while the appearance is yellow-gold. The taste is the rye up front with the hoppinesss behind it. Not really that different from the retired old APA Left Hand makes although the rye helps with the flavor some.

Dry and rather boring. Nothing special here.

Very watery for an ale; I'm surprised at the amount of hops that can come through such a thin-bodied beer. Even still, it falls flat in my opinion.
