Flaske. Orange uklar øl med et forsvindende skumhoved. Duft af engelsk humle, og smagen er frugtet og igen tydelig engelsk humle. Overraskende bitter i forhold til smagen, men bestemt en drikbar øl. Dog ikke en decideret session en af slagsen.

12oz bottle from City Beer Store in SF. Not sure why this isn’t classified as a pale ale. Sure as hell looks and tastes like one. Orangish-amber with a nice white head. Aroma is fairly hoppy (C-hops), taste is malt, light fruits, and hops on the finish. Well-balanced, smooth mouthfeel. Good as a "hair of the dog that bit you" beer the morning after.

Bottle. Hazy bight orange, chunky off-white head showing excellent retention. Fresh sweet berry and melon aroma and flavour accent the sweet caramel malts. Mild bitterness, light and refreshing.

From bottle, blindtasting #1. Pours hazy orange with a slowly collapsing white head. Yeasty, mild spiced and hoppy. Somewhat cheeesy too. Sweet caramel malty and slight yeasty flavoured. Phenolic and medium dry finish with a lasting herbal impression.

Ruth is an amazing brew. Pours a pale yellow, almost ruby color with a nice dime sized head. Tastes of hops and a very large grapefruit presence. One of my favorite HOTD brews. light, refreshing, and full flavored.

bottle poured into a shaker has a golden color and a thin white head. aroma has sweet pale malt, caramel, light yeasty flowers, and some light hops. mouth feel is light and the carbonation is low. flavor comes off stronger than the nose with citrus hops, spicy yeast, medium sweetness, and bitterness. the yeast and hops combination lend a nice pepper and the finish has grains and bitterness. the flavors are certainly not ho-hum as many are in this style.

Pours a clear medium gold with a fine, medium, white head. Sweet, spicy, and herbaceous hops notes the meld together with crisp, toasty and nutty grain aromas for an overall light, earthy aromatic profile which is quite nice. Light, very crisp body with some really good grain notes and a soft, fruity fermentation profile that add additional interest here, This is a very easygoing, refreshing, and interesting take on this ubiquitous, often ordinary style.

Bottle, bought @ Vinens Verden, Odense.
Pours hazy golden with a large, creamy, white head. Fine duration. Aroma has a lot of yeast with some fruity hops, some spices as well. Not entirely pleasant. Lowish carbonation, good mouthfeel. Flavour is a bit sweet, grainy malts, fine spicy hops and good dryness. There is just too much yeast character.
