3.0 Pours clear pale yellow with medium white head that quickly vanishes. Nose is malty. Aromas are grassy hops, pine resin. Average carbonation, low body. Medium biteer and dry finish.

2.5 35,5cl bottle from Alko. Pours amber with small white head. Medium carbonation. Aroma is the same as in most american pale ale’s, its maybe bit more dry. Hint of fruitiness. Okay, but there is better pale ales.

3.1 Bottle at home. Aroma is grassy, citrus, biscuit, light malt, floral, slightly soapy, mild hops. Flavour is light sweet and over moderate bitter. Body is light to medium. Somewhere between a hoppy Lager and an APA. Doesn’t have a lot of character, but I found it a passable ale.

2.6 Bottle, courtesy of TM. Feels skunked and not too fresh. Aroma is skunked hops, some soda. Taste is slightly citrus, light caramel, not very fresh.

2.5 330m bottle (K Kamppi, Helsinki) Vegetal fart as the first aroma. Slightly thin herbal hoppy aroma. Dry, almost metallic bitter mouthfeel. Carbonation way too fizzy. Some sweetish malts, but the soapy perfume takes over. Thin and harsh. Are you sure this is an ale, this is just a metallic lager.

2.6 330ml bottle (thanks FatPhil). Pale yellow color. Small size, white head, stays as a ring. Sweet, malty, apple jam, some boiled vegetables, some weird hops in aroma. Watery, hop wash water, bit soapy, damp grass in taste. Some spicy hops soaked in water. Got flavor, but nothing to brag about. Average brew.

3.0 Bottle from Alko. Pale amber color, white head. Bitter taste with citrus, hops, resin, toast and a bit of mango. Bitter finish with citrus, hops, resin and mango.

2.9 355 ml bottle. Pours a clear pale yellow colour with a small foamy head. Aroma of grassy hops, some graininess and pungent herbs. Flavour of crisp grassy bitterness, mild honey-like sweetness, harsh graininess, pungent herbs and hay. Light bodied and high-ish carbonation. Not good.

3.3 aroma is fruits and light bitterness, yellow beer white decent head. taste is light bitterness. medium-high carbonation with a long bitter finish. The taste itself needs work but other wise this is avery nice easy drinking and dry bitter pale ale.

3.3 Bottle. Clear golden color, white head. Aroma is malty and some crispy hoppy notes. Malty body, dry hops, hint of mint. Pretty nice pale ale.

3.0 I enjoyed this one quite much. Nicely easy drinking while well hopped and balanced. Light but not too light maltiness

2.8 Bottle. Golden color, frothy white head. Hoppy aroma. Fairly dry flavor with fruity notes, hint of resiny hops.Medium-light body, high carbonation. Not my favorite pale ale.

3.8 Bottle. Medium, white, long-lasting head. Chystal clear golden. Citric and fruity aroma. Malty, hoppy, sweetish and tasty. Bitter aftertaste. -- rated with beerbasher/winphone

3.3 Bottle. Golden, small to average and mostly diminishing head. Moderate, malty and dryish aroma, light caramel - faint bread and tropical fruitiness, some piney - light citrus hoppyness. Body is light to medium, malty and lightly sweetish flavor, light caramel and light fruitiness, some piney/citrus hoppyness. Finish is average, malty and dryish, light caramel and faint bread, some citrus - light piney hoppyness. Dryish APA with light notes of caramel and bread. OK but nothing special.

3.5 Bottle 35,5 cl. Pours light golden with fluffy white head. Notes of citrus, grapefruit, fruits, grass. Good level of fruityness. Refreshing.

2.9 12 oz bottle. BB O/16. (Alko) Tampere, Finland. Clear golden colour with a small frothy white head. Chicken soup, fresh hops and mild bitterness in the aroma. Dry grassy hops and bitterness in the flavour. Dry pilsnery pale ale.

2.8 Bottle. Pours hazy butterscotch with a small fizzy off-white head that dissipates quickly with some lacing. Aroma is butter, pine, citrus. Flavor is light sweet, light plus bitter, buttery pine needles. Light body, lingering bitterness.

3.4 355ml bottle from Alko. Clear golden colored beer with a thin, but lasting, lacing white head. Citrusy , slightly malty aroma with grapefruity and floral notes. Flavor has citrus, grass, floral and mild herbal notes. Decent bitterness. Some light caramel in the dry finish. Pleasant. My kind of APA.

2.9 A golden beer, a head is medium and white. Aroma has fruitness that is slightly tropical, some citrusfruits, malts, slightly musty. Taste is fruitful, also musty maltyness, herbs. Medium bodied, slightly harsh in the mouth. Too musty and more freshness would be needed.

3.1 355ml bottle from Alko BBE 10/2016 - Pours clear yellowish golden with a small white head. Aroma of mild grassy hops, soapy notes, hints of lemon and citrus. Taste is smooth, crisp and easy going with hints of grass, citrus and hay. Finish is crisp, slightly bitter and grassy with hints of citrus and hay. A bit boring and bland.

3.4 Slight diacetyl in aroma. Floral hops, citrus, bready malts Pours a clear gold with small lasting white creamy head Hoppy flavor of orange and earthy, floral notes. Bready malts Medium bodied, medium co2, hoppy lingering finish Nice change from the west coast hoppy beers I'm used to. Well balanced and easy to drink. I could drink these all day

3.3 Pours out a pale slightly hazed yellow with a small scummy white head. The aroma and flavor are both dank pine, but fairly subdued. Nice light mouthfeel. This is an APA where the first A stands for "adequate".

2.4 12 fl oz Flasche. Leicht trüb und golden. Mittelgrosse Schaumkrone. Leicht fruchtig. Milder Nachgeschmack.

2.7 Pours a yellowish straw from a bottle. Not much to speak of here, on the bitter side, not much malt to balance it out, not getting too much in the way of aromatic hops either. Meh.

2.9 Aroma: light hoppy, flowers. Appearance: light hazy pale gold, small, white head. Taste: light bitter. Palate: bitters continue, intensify, some metal, malty sweets coming up. Overall: OK APA, but does not stand out. Bottle at Chipotle Grill Chelsea, Manhattan.

3.3 35 cl bottle.Dark yellow color, average white head. slightly hazed. Hoppy nose. Aroma: pale malts, caramel malts, slight fruity, peach, soft aromatic hops, . Taste is salty, slightly sour and sweetish, tasty, umami. Carbonated, medium bodied. Average APA, quite good.
