Aass Gourmet Pale Ale

Brewed by Aass Bryggeri
Style: Scottish Ale
Drammen, Norway

Bottle. Pours a deep golden amber-brown with a big, frothy light brown head. Sweet fruity aroma with dry wooden notes. Bit of spice notes and faint notes of alcohol as well. Flavour is sweet and a bit malty. Thin. Faint notes of raisins as it warms. Thin finish, slightly bitter. So, there’re almost no hops to be found in this beer and it’s not pale – so why call it a pale ale? 25-07-08.

Bottle from supermarket Oslo. Pours crystal clear amber with smallish tan head. Very malty aroma, kinda cheapish... Tastes like norwegian non-alkoholic beer, Munkholm. Will not buy again

33cl bottle from Meny, Grønland. It poured an amber colour with a big foamy head that settles down nicely in the glass. The aroma smells of caramel and malts. It tastes of caramel, malts and raisins. It has a slightly metallic aftertaste, but that could also be because it was direct from the fridge and served colder than reccommended.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of yngwie. Clear, amber golden with a rough, off-white head. Light caramel aroma. Medium-bodied with light accents of caramel and a metallic edge. The finish is rather bitter. 040408

Bottle. Clear golden coloured with a small white ehad. Aroma of malts, fruits, caramel and hops. Flavour of malts, fruits, caramel and hops with notes of cardboard. Hoppy finish.

33 cL bottle. Pours almost clear amber to dark orange with a fully diminished white head. Mild spiced and caramel malty aroma. Flavour is light chocolate malty smooth yet with an unmistakenly grainy note following. Dry and light bitter finish.

Not really wha I had hoped for. The nose has a low intensity, and not a lot of the flavours that I expect in a pale ale. It is light to medium bodied, with low intesity in the aromaes, and lacs concentration and lenght. Finishes clean
