Commercial Description:
The original Extra Pale Ale, this is the one that started it all. Our first brew was introduced in 1989 in Golden Gate style kegs. We have stayed true to our beginnings and still brew it the way we did back then. A bright golden hued ale with a medium body and a crisp spicy /floral hop character and very mild bitterness. This unfiltered ale has a pleasing mouth feel and remains our most popular brew. This beer goes with everything and every occasion.

A hazy light yellow beer with a dense white head. The aroma is sweet with a good hop profile including notes of citrus. The flavor is sweet malty with some hops - but too thin bodied and flavored for really being good.

Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Pale golden, average head. Rich hoppy nose with lots of lychee and pineapple. The mouthfeel is surprisingly soft and gentle and the body is light. It’s completely dominated by the aroatic hops, yet the bitternes is not really that powerful. A cottony hop aroma experience.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Degarth. Slightly hazy, deep golden with a nice, off-white head. Somehat fat aroma of hops - citrusy nose. Fairly light in body, lightly sweet malt base with fresh, fruity acents with peach in particular sticking out. Dry finish without much bitterness. Nice and very drinkable. 241007

Slightly hazed golden body topped by a medium off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, floral, grapefruit, pepper. Taste is floral, white pepper, some grapefruit, light lemon. Not especially bitter, but it does have some bite. Light-medium body, quite guzzlable.
