12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear orange gold with white head. Not as aromatic as you’d expect, hops detectable. Good hoppy taste with bitter finish. This is an american classic.

This should probably be a staple of everyone’s diet since it is always a solid beer. Nice floral aroma, followed by a really drinkable and nice flavor. Medium to lively carbonation. Always a good decision.

Serving: Super 24 oz bomb Not overly enthusiastic about this pale ale, but is definately drinkable. More hops please. Good initial bite, but quickly fades to clean finish.

Bottled 350ml. -at Interbrau exhibition stand on Zagrebački Velesajam. Golden coloured, medium sized white head, aromatic nose. Very hoppy citrusy taste with pleasant long-lasting bitter finish. Easy drinkable and very refreshing.

This is one of the standard brews in my fridge. It’s a classic. More malty than hoppy, with a breadish/crackerish finish. I wish this was available on draft at more places like Friday’s, Chili’s, etc.

Pours orange/golden with white head. Fruity malt aroma.Sweet taste, but large amounts og hops make this an interesting brew with a long bitter finish.
