440 ml can, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 4.0%. Cloudy pale yellow colour, large white head. Pleasant aroma of spruce, citrus and tropical fruits. The flavour is not too sweet, but the beer has still a decent body for its ABV. Citric flavour with tropical fruits and sprucetips in the background. Moderate to low bitterness, but very refreshing and easy drinking.

Pours a hazy, orange coloration with a medium, fluffy head. Smells of biscuity malt and citrus/tropical hops, with notes of mango, grapefruit and tangerine. Taste follows the nose is a good balance of light biscuity malt and citrus and tropical hops, with the zesty citrus notes of grapefruit and tangerine dominating, as well as a lighter tropical accents of mango and a soft, underlying grassiness. Finishes with a light/medium bitterness and some zesty citrus notes and grassy hops lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a light body and medium carbonation.

This is a very nice, low-ABV Pale Ale that feels rather refreshing and easy-drinking, while displaying some nice and zesty citrus notes with lighter tropical accents. While this may seem a little light-bodied, with the hops not quite as expressive as in a higher-ABV brew, that's just in the nature of the beast and this actually almost completely lacks those extremely grassy, almost soapy notes that similar brews often display. Overall, a very well-crafted and enjoyable Pale Ale for the ABV.
