500 ml bottle, at Olympen, Oslo. Beautiful reddish colour, large to moderate off-white head. Lovely complex aroma of American hops, notes of various fruits, hints of spices. Delightful hoppy flavour, well balanced with the malts, notes of red fruits / berries, blackcurrants and blackcurrant leaves, extremely drinkable. Great with a mutton dinner, or alone. A "school example" of English subtlety paired with American quality hops in a moderate ABV "session" ale.

Regardless of the 5 varieties of Yakima Valley hops, it is still a far cry from the original American Amber. Although it is not bad at all, there is nothing really remarkable about it - is rather watery than hoppy.

On tap at the brewery. Off white head. Amber copper color. Lace.
Malty and a touch of sweetness with resiny hops. Grapefruit and pine. Hoppy red ale. Ends sticky with some weedy notes.

A 330ml bottle with a BB of Feb 2018. ABV is stated as 4.1%. Picked up recently from Waitrose. The label mentions that this is brewed with 5 hop varieties from the Yakima valley.
A: Poured into a tulip. A clear marmalade hue with good carbonation. Yields a decent head of creamy white foam that lasts for a minute or two before reducing to a patchy surface layer.
S: Aroma of resinous hops with hints of pine, weed, vague citrus peel, caramel malt, a touch of grain and ale yeast. Pretty good.
T: Tastes of pine-heavy hops with notes of pine resin, weed, mild citrus peel, caramel malt, barley sugar, light grain and ale yeast. Slightly sweet and a tad watery. A restrained hoppy bitterness upon swallowing.
M: Mouthfeel is smooth and tingly, with spritzy carbonation and a somewhat insubstantial body. Aftertaste of bitter resinous hops, caramel malt and yeast.
O: A drinkable brew - hoppy yet balanced. Looks alright, while the aroma and flavour successfully blend pine, caramel and yeast. Body is OK; slightly too thin. Goes down alright and would certainly work as a regular drinking beer. Worth sampling.
