A: Beautiful opaque amber orange slightly darker than your run of the mill American pale. Poured a soapy three finger off-white head that is leaving some beautiful lacing. This thing looks very inviting.

S: Caramel malts, pine, a bit of grapefruit. Some wet hay. Standard pale ale nose.

T: Wow, that's really nice. Grassy up front, caramel and toffee combined with some lemon zest through the palate. Finishes with the bitter hops and grapefruit that you get so much in the nose. Very nice, very complex.

M: It really coats the mouth and leaves you with that APA bitterness on the back of the tongue. Medium to full-bodied with moderate carbonation.

I picked up a bottle of this at a certain bottle shop in Copenhagen.

Poured into a wine glass and the appearance is a cloudy orangish tone with fingers of a bright white head. Its` nose has grapefruit, orange, biscuit and malt. The taste is low-key citrus, bread, caramel, mmm, this tastes very nice. Mouthfeel medium, a nice carbonation level. All in all, this is a great American Pale Ale. And it is executed well by these folks outta Denmark !

Appearance Pours an hazy orange (SRM 9) in my Cantillon snifter with a tiny but creamy off-white collar.

Smell The nose is of predominant fresh and flowery hops. There’s a less noticable malt aroma. It’s sweet though with plenty notes of grapefruit, lemon and cookie dough.

Taste Rather a filling and smooth taste this one. Caramalt and light hoppy bitterness washed with lots and lots of exotic fruits.

Mouthfeel A very refreshing light to medium body with average carbonation.

I enjoyed this APA together with Ølbutikken co-owner Michael Feyk at his store on Istedgade. The recipe for this particular beer drafted by his business partner Jeppe “Evil Twin” Jarnit-Bjergsø.

Could this do as a summer ale? Yes sir indeed! Hipster Ale’s a refreshing and easily drinkable brew packed with complex flavors. Give me another one!

A- This beer pours an orange/amber color with a very light tan head about a half inch high that's hangin' around a while thanks to the aggressive carbonation.

S- Nice mild hop aroma. Floral but not too much with a nice malt balance.

T- Much milder on the hop bitterness than initially expected. It is a very well balanced pale ale.

M-Bubbly on the palate with a little bit of tingle from the hops on the back end

O-Not too shabby. Certainly didn't knock my socks off but overall its a good european pale ale; nothing to complain about.

Serving Type: 12oz can poured into a pint glass

Bottle has a date code of some kind but I can't make it out. Oh well.

Beer is a deep orange with a large off-white head. Good retention. Some sticky lace.

I get a good dose of caramel malt in the nose, alongside some soapy grapefruit hops.

Taste is fairly balanced pretty the malt and hops. Caramel and toffee alongside grapefruit and a bit of pine. Moderate bitterness.

Medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Slightly oily.

Overall, decent APA. Enjoyable but not remarkable.
