Going Places International Pale Ale
WellBeing Brewing

Canned 080621, almost a year ago, but comparing to my “best before” beers, these could be expected to stay fresh at least 1.5 years from canning. Sent from Ondernulpuntvijf in the Netherlands. Served at 10°C in my stemmed angled Iittala Essence beer glass.

Pours pale golden with some haze, one finger white head which is receding quite fast with little lacing.

Aroma: faint, honey?

Taste: well balanced, not very strong malt/hop character, pleasant aftertaste with lingering hops.

Feel: suiting medium carbonation.

Overall: you understand I like lagers and pale ales like this. Difficult to put the finger on why, it’s just a good experience, this rose to 4.25 during the tasting. Not the slightest off-character, but could the hops have faded some?

Nice frothy head that sticks around a bit. Smells of steeping grains and a cereal kind of sweetness. Corn pops. Not getting much hop character; maybe some light lemon. Not much hop on the tongue, either, which is odd for something marketed as an IPA. What's there is pleasant, though. It tastes pretty much as it smells - Sweet malty grains. Mouthfeel is what it is; ultimately slight, but does have a little more heft than most NA beers I've sampled.

Pours clear, gold in color with one quarter inch head. Taste is floral hops and earthy hops. Bitter more than most from Wellbeing, light body, moderate carbonation. Solid Ipa, but the brewery makes better, not a world beater but well worth a 4 pack.
