look: 3 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

Pours amber with a fading head.
Big floral, grapefruit and peach hoppy notes in the aroma, along with clean malt underneath.
Fairly aggressive flavours with lots of hop bitterness in the very dry finish. Some grapefruit and pin along with a green plant-like notes.
Nice moderately high carbonation suits the beer well.

Serving type: on-tap

On tap at Mikkeller Bar in Copenhagen... Served in a 20cl Mikkeller glass.

A: Light gold; light cream head; spotty lace.

S: Granny Smith apple peel; light citrus zest / hoppiness; inviting aroma.

T: Light hops and a touch of bread; simple and good; zest and apple notes present in aroma are also in the taste.

M: Medium-bodied; moderate carbonation; refreshing!

O: Wow... a really refreshing pale ale - would be great for summertime in Charleston.

750ml bottle, bottled 19 june 2012

A- Light orange colour, nice clarity. Perfectly white, soft looking head. Retention does not seem to hold very well at first, but a thin layer always remains on top, and lacing is pretty nice and dense

S- Wonderful aroma, brightly fresh i would say. Fresh herbal/flowery feel, citric notes of orange, lemon as well as maybe peach. A pleasantly sharp/pungent hint of spiciness on the back of things. Really strong and persistent

T- Pretty much what the smell suggested, though maybe not as bright and strong. Some vague malts on the back of things but pretty much just a foundation, maybe a hint of caramel. Slightly sharp, super-refreshing herbal/grassy feel, with a nice dose of bitterness to it (you could easily define this as a very sessionable american ipa). Citric notes of orange, lemon, grapefruit, a touch of some flowery feel. If i must find a flaw i would say that citric notes tend to fade away quite too quickly, while from the aroma you could have expected something more vivid. A clean note of herbal bitterness in the super-refreshing aftertaste

M- Light to medium body really helping with drinkability, quite dry for the style. Average carbonation, brings a pleasant sharp feel on the palate that helps giving this beer some life

O- Pretty hoppy APA, sessionable IPA; whatever you may call it this is a very nice take on the american style. Amazingly drinkable and refreshing, i'm still just a bit biased as the smell promised huge things that the taste didn't actually achieve

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Pours a hazy, bright yellow orange hue with a pure white head that came out to be about a finger and a half before just turning into a thin white, bubbly film. Some residual lacing, but not much.

Citrus fruits, and perhaps even a hint of ripe mango, are predominant in the nose. Light candy sweetness in the aroma as well. The sweetness doesn't really come into play in the flavor as much, which is really nice IMO. A bit of a drier body, and a delicate hop flavor. Definitely citrusy, crackery malt. Pretty nice stuff. Thinner, and a bit oily MF. Pretty bubbly carbonation that lifts the beer a bit. Nice drinking, and clocks in at a sessionable abv for me. Tasty, and a good take on the style.

Quite hazy orange color, with thin floating particles. White and creamy head, quickly falling down.
At the smell, hop. Tangerine and grapefruit. Dry, balanced by the right maltiness.
Same for the taste, dry, tangerine.
Pleasant and drinkable.
It has a good balance.
Good italian interpretation of an american style. And just 5%.
Light body, with a plesant aftertaste of tangerine and citrus fruits.
