Picked this one up and thought it was a red lager beer...guess I should read the label, eh? Anyways, figured out it wasn’t a red lager upon the pour...nice copper pour with a reddish tinge...beautiful head on this as well. Citrus and yeast on the aroma which has a nice melding of malt and hops. Flavor is very good...it seems to sway back and forth between the sweet, caramel malts and some light bittering hops...very bready and sugary up front, then turns bitter, before a smooth finish. Dunno if I would have picked this up if I knew it was a pale ale, and I’m glad I made the mistake, because this was a quality beer.

Wonderful beer from North Coast. Floral, yeasty aroma develops into full malty/hoppy palate. Finishes slightly on the thin side for so aggressive a start, but nonetheless a great beer.

Wow what an exciting mix of flavors. There is the piney/citrus notes from a really great IPA, and theres also some malty red flavors in there too. This beer finishes great. The head is just average and there isn’t much lacing. I think it smells quite heavenly. I could drink this everyday for the rest of my life.

Hoppy in the aroma and in the first swig. Very good for a pale, I thought it was a red ale when I bought it. Guess I should do my homework... Pours a copper/ slight amber color with a hige cream-colored head. A bit of a dry bite in the aftertaste, though. Good stuff.

Light amber color with a fleeting head. Subtle floral hop aroma. Medium body and smooth. Very easy drinking taste of lightly sweet bready malts with a mildly bitter finish. Reminds me of MacJacks African amber. 51806

Tasted with Davy and Glenn @ brewery Alvinne. Bottle, 33 cl. Amber colour, beige head. Aroma sweet, fruits, light hoppy. Thin to medium body. Low flavour with some hops. Short finish, slightly watery. Nothing special.

Draught. Nose is huge citrus, mostly grapefruit and orange. Deep copper color with a thin white head. Balanced citrus bitterness, bright fruity sweetness, absolutely delicious. Great palate, full-bodied with a dry finish. A fantastic session ale.

draft @ papago... pours a brown shade of copper with a thin white head which leaves a surprising amount of foam on the glass. aromas of citrus, pine/grassy hops along with some caramel graininess. flavor is the same but very crisp with a clean finish. average body with nice carbonation. refreshing, simple and good...
