| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 13, 2009 Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Slightly hazy amber with a small, foamy, light tan head. The head disappears pretty quickly.
Aroma: Lots of resinous, pine hops with solid citrus fruits and some caramel malt notes. Pretty damn good nose.
Taste: Great malt and hop balance that leans just a bit to the hop side. Pine, citrus, and caramel notes with everything working together. This is one tasty brew!
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel and a medium-short, slightly sweet finish.
Overall: A great session ale that I will definitely keep around the house. Give this one a go! Systembolaget (11), Malmoe, Sweden

smell is of light grapefruit, some citrus, a little caramel, some tangerine in back, and some floral.
taste is of nuts, caramel, a touch of citrus, dandilion, a touch of pine, and earth, end is on the bitter side.
overall more of an IPA than a Pale Ale. drowland (1429), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
