Clear yellow colour, with a small white head and some lace. Funky smell of tropical fruits, spices, maybe clove or pepper, bananas. Medium body, carbonation good enough. Taste is fruity, spicy, some citrus. You think it has more alcohol than it really does. Very good.

Healthy pale ale, 33 cl. bottle, Bottled october 2009, lot D.
Best within 3 year.
Pale golden colour, big soapy head, good carbonation. Cloudy after pouring it out.
Smell of citrus, clove, koriander. Light sour.
Grassy in the taste, and very malty. Mostly dry finish.
Very watery mouthfeel. Leaving it a few minutes, it is very much like a lager.
Overall, this beer is a bit disappointing. It started very promising though.

Pale gold color and very bubbly. The nose offers pure flavors and fragrant hops. The palate is soft with good bitterness might be described as powerful and shows the power of hops. The aftertaste also allows the same honest bitterness out of power and fill the mouth without the sublime. This is also far from convincing to 100% because it offers nothing more. However, it is easily drinkable with its alcohol content low.

A: Slightly hazy straw colored with a small white head that settles very quickly and leaves little lacing.

T: Malts dominate the taste, with some sour apple.
M: Reasonable body, but not great.
D: Middle of the road in this brewer's range.
