2.7 Pours a pale colour. Taste is floral yet well balanced. Not a bad beer byt noy exciting

3.0 @Pipes of Scotland, Kalmar, Sweden. Looks good, adds a dimension to the nachos and holds its own too. But yeah, nothing spectacular.

2.4 Crystal clear. Bold golden colour with a very large and creamy head. Aroma is soggy grains. Taste is a little grassy, I guess. Not a lot of character.

1.0 Almost no taste, nothing to excite my tastebuds. Disappointing, although my girlfriend would like it...

2.9 400ml on tap at Beer Happens. Pours clear amber with a small white head. Aroma is malt, hops. Taste is caramel, malt, fruit, light bitterness.

2.7 Draft: Poured a light amber to golden with white head. Aroma is soft hops. Taste is hoppy but mild finish.

2.6 Bottle from Beers of Europe, Kings Lynn. Pours golden with an average sized white head. Aroma of caramel, malt and fruit. Medium plus sweetness, light bitterness. Medium body, oily watery texture, above average carbonation.

1.9 Draught, August 2016. Malty, fruity, metallic. Watery and light astringent. One of the worst macro choices you can make in Ireland.

3.3 Draft @ The Queen's Bar & Steak Room, Dalkey. Clear gold with a nice white head. Aroma of citrus fruits and grass. Taste is malty and fruity (grapefruits, lemons). Moderately bitter. Medium carbonation. Refreshing. Nothing special really but I was kind of exhausted and dehydrated so I enjoyed it oh so much.

3.3 Bottle, 50cL. 4.5%. Gift from my dad. Home. A sparkling yellow amber clear beer with a medium white foamy head ; medium retention ; good lacing. Citrus (orange), herb, fruity tropical notes, floral note. Light to medium dry refreshing bitter, light sweet. Light to medium body, thin texture, average to soft carbonation, dry fresh finish. Overall, enjoyable.

3.2 Klart gyllenbrunt med kompakt skum. korn og lett sitrus dominerer smak og duft. behagelig munnfølelse med lett bitterhet.

2.6 25-08-17 // draft at Seán Óg's , Dingle, Ireland. Golden dark beer. Full bodied, malty with a mild bitter finish.

2.1 On tap at Radisson Blu Sky City, Arlanda Airport. Golden with a small white head. Light with some hops, caramel, bread and butter. A thin and boring one.

3.5 Full flavour Pale ale

3.0 Nice smell of citrus and hops. Taste is similar to most UK pale ales with hops, citrus and grass. What separates this is it is well balanced, not too bitter, not too sweet. Has a slightly malty biscuity finish. Better than the likes of Oxford Gold, Cocker Hoop and Marston's EPA. Nothing astounding, but a nice session ale.

2.5 Hazy copper with tan head. Pale malt, hops in the nose, tastes of hops, pale malt, mild citrus, low level of complexity and palate heft, not well balanced.

2.8 1 pint at Grave Digger, Dublin. Aroma is light hops. Appearance is clear golden with a thick white foam. Taste is light bitter. Watery. Ok.

2.9 Denne pale ale har et klart gyldent udseende med et medium hvidt skum. Øllen har en frisk og frugtig aroma og smager deraf med noter af karsmel og har en bitter afrunding. Medium karbonering.

3.1 Aroma of malt, caramel and hops. Golden pale appearance with a white head. Medium sweetness and light medium bitterness. A nice bitter finish. Drinkable and fresh.

2.8 Keg at the Tullyglass House hotel, Ballymena, 10/07/17. Clear golden blonde with a well presented white cap of bubbles. Nose is pale malts, bread dough, grass, lemon rind. Taste comprises biscuit crumble, straw, light citric notes, bready bite, hint of caramel. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with modest bitterness. Average as per the style in general.

2.0 0,5l bottle from a friend who brought it from Dublin. Too little carbonation. Almost tasteless, thin brew. No finish. Boring and disappointing. Must be the worst Pale Ale I ever had.

0.5 Had it on tap in the Summit Pub Howth Dublin. Tasted weak, no aroma, flat. Don’t bother. Another terrible beer from a brewery with a legacy of terrible beers. Waste of water.

3.3 Clear golden colour, white head. Aroma of malt, grassy hops, citrus. Dry lightly bitter taste. Thin body and soft carbonation.
