35,5cl bottle. Pours clear copper with a great white head & creamy lacings. Aroma & taste are hoppy (citrus/piney/). Malty buiscuit, soapy & bitter. A bit harsh. Medium to light bodied. Fresh, crisp & quite drinkable!

bottle poured a light brassy amber in color with good steady carbination leaving a nice layer of white froth at the surface. aroma is better than expected, toffee caramel malt, sweet fruit, spicy hops, and some grass. flavor hits with surprising hops and counter balanced malt, has some sweetness but goes towards the bitter side as it finishes, on the dry side, and as it warmed came through strangely with light roast. i will say this was surprisingly better than i had thought going in, very easy drinker with good flavor, wish i had another bottle.

Bottle at The Rover, Gothenburg. Copper color with a creamy off-white head. Aroma: Delicate flowery and citrus hop aroma, sweet malt, apricot, frutiness. Flavor: Bitter but still smooth citrus hops, sweet malt, caramel, fruitiness, apricot. Dry finish. Good balance between hops and malt. Very drinkable. This is a very good Pale Ale.

medium amber color, slightly hazy, minimal head. Smells nice - of hops and fruits/grapes... Well-balanced, but subdued taste for a pale ale. Pretty poor/light mouth feel and seemed to get considerably staler and boring as I finished it off.

This one was fairly decent. Pours out a nice coppery amber color with a nice white head. aroma was malty and rather hoppy. flavor was mostly malt. i detected little hop to it. over all i enjoyed this brew.

Pours a standard amber color with a massive 2.5 inch off-white head that sustains. Nose is hops and caramel malts. Same flavors in the mouth, although I believe my friend’s glass wasn’t washed properly as I picked up some really strange aftertastes of dishrag and soap. So much so that I had to force myself to chug the rest of the beer. I’ll have to re-rate this on a later date. Medium/lively carbonation and medium bodied. Well-balanced hop bitterness. Despite the strange flavors from the dirty glass, this is still a very mediocre pale ale.

The label has the silhouette of a cyclist on it, and also a fraternity guy slogan: "Great minds drink alike." For a moment I thout I had accidentally purchased a sports drink. Dark gold brew with a fluffy head. Sweet but slightly off aroma. Taste is primarily nice hops, both medium and peppy. Light body. Enjoyable, but unexciting.
