Bear Republic XP Pale Ale

22 ounce bottle, the last of the night. Pours a clear golden color with a large white head. The aroma is sweet hops, caramel and earthy grassy notes. The flavor is really nice; smooth citrus and tine flavors, not as bitter as sweet, toasted malts. Nice and very drinkable, Bear Republic is quality.

Looks great! Gold with fluffy white head and lots of floaties! Mild scent of malt. Bready bitter in flavor. Not bad

Gorgeous hazy golden pour with very substantial and long-lasting white head. The nose is bready malts and big aromatic PNW hopping. Great honey-like bread and biscuit maltiness, sweet and substantial along side the very well balanced citrus and pine bitterness. Very possibly may become my new go-to APA. Wonderfull creamy texture and sirited carbonation that cleanses the palate after each sip.

650 ml bottle (can’t remember where i got it from). Pours a slightly hazy copper color with a big fluffy white head that has great retention and some lacing. The aroma is mild and barely detectable with some grains and sweet malts. The flavor is reminiscent of a good English biter. But unlike an English biter here is a good biter hop presence in this, oh why do the Limeys call something a biter and not make it actually biter. Also in the taste I get plenty of biscuit, some honey, butter, bread and walnuts. Very nice. The palate is silky smooth with lively carbonation. Take note Lost Abbey this is how you do carbonation. The finish is long with lingering honeyed English muffin. Overall: A very sessionable ale, a new day-in and day-out favorite.

Poured a little more orange than your average pale ale. Nose was a little hoppy with hints of sugar and grain. Taste was a little boring, no bright hop flavors, just a fair amount of hop bitterness, a little bit of a table sugar body, little caramel, not much else.

Bottled@Monks Café, Wallingatan, Stockholm. Amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is fruits, some eartth, caramel and slight grassy notes. Mild toffee as well, once it warms up a bit. Flavour is fruits, wood, yeast, mild earthy and grassy notes as well.

Bottle: Light copper pour with a finger of creamy beige head. Aroma is rich and sweet with citrus and tropical fruits. A strong floral bitterness up front that gets just a little malty and bready before a lightly lingering bitter finish. Nice, I could enjoy this regularly.

22 oz Bomber - Pours a light golden color with massive and foamy head that leaves lasting lacing. Taste is lighter than expected but it goes down easily.
