Draft at Fynske Øldage. Clear amber coloured with an off white head. Aroma of fruits, hops and pine needles. Flavour of fruits, hops and pine needles. A bit watery. I prefer thhe bottled edition.

Draft @ Fynske Øldage. Light hoppy nose, with some grassy notes. Copper colored body with a small white head. Light bitterness in the flavor, grassy notes, way weaker than the bottle version IMO.

Pours a copper color with very little head but decent lacing. Floral hoppy aroma with some notes of pine and citrus. Well balanced flavor has nice hops bitterness and an oak character. Slightly sweet malts leaves a light taste of caramel. Medium body and finishes dry with lingering floral hops on the palate. Goes great with most types of American food.

Good, drinkable beer. Good body, nose and dry finish. Good quality beer. There’s an appetizing bitterness to the beer, it’s good to have before a meal.

Wow! I can’t believe the differance a little bottle conditioning does. This beer is really weak and watery compared to the bottled version. A very mediocre American Pale.

Good beer. Hoppy, with some fruity nuances. An good pale ale, in the class of Sam Adams and Saranac PA. Very tasty and easy to drink, if you like this type of beer.

Sierra is a very refreshing but not wholly aromatic with medium body and hoppiness.

draft (of course) Pours amber with a medium white head with good lacing, pick up scents of white bread and a light hop. First taste is a medium hop APA with a touch of citrus (orange) balanced by a slight malt sweetness. Clean finish hoppy yet sweet. Very refreshing and a goood example of an APA.
