June 2014. Shared 330 ml bottle, from CITTI-Markt Flensburg. BB date 31.10.2013. ABV is 5.2%. Moderate but pleasant aroma of Cascade and Polaris hops, also hints of toffee. Pleasant easy drinking flavour, fairly dry - despite the hop varieties, it tastes more like a British pale ale than an APA.

Pours a clear, medium amber coloration with a medium, fizzy head. Smells of bready, caramel malt with a certain floral, herbal note and just a hint of pine. Taste follows the nose, being quite malty, but with a nice balance of bready, doughy, caramel malt and floral, herbal, piney hops. There's a strong presence of alpine herbs that is reminiscent of sage, thyme and fennel, with an underlying floral, grassy note as well. Not a lot of citrus coming through, but a bit of pine is noticeable as well. Finishes with a dry, light/medium bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

This is certainly a different, quite unique Pale Ale that doesn't seem to quite fit neither the English nor American definition, but is rather nice and refreshing in its own way. The Polaris hops really seem to take center stage here, with a strong herbal presence and almost no citrus and little pine coming through from the Cascade hops. This actually reminds me a bit of Almdudler, an Austrian soda that's flavoured with alpine herbs. I've had this quite fresh and would not expect it to hold up well due to its strong malt backbone and subtle hop flavour.

Elevated my score a bit to support German craft brewing. Still a very good pale ale in a world of pils

Dark orange color, quite hazy. A veil of foam.
Pleasant smell, malt, light caramel. Herbal hop, citric, grapefruit.
Good herbal notes, almost of alpine herbs.
Malty start in the taste, again light caramel, and a good hop, balanced.
Right body. Interesting the hopping, Cascade and Polaris.
Not very long aftertaste.

Orange color with white head. Really dank hoppy aroma. Taste is fresh and hoppy at first and gets pretty bitter in the finish and continues in the aftertaste. Really nice, well made pale ale.
