0,33 flaske fra importkofferten, delt med skibsrederen etter dagens dont på Fridtjofen juli-18: uklar mørk strågul med fint skum som varer. Behagelig aroma og smak fra Nelson- humlen, men egentlig nokså forglemmelig. Decent but forgettable.
Bottle shared with JMD on board Fridtjofen 11.07.18. Hazy pale peach colour. Diminishing white head. Aroma and taste of grapefruit, papaya, mango and marmalade. Decent.

Bottle at Drinkers Pub, Eindhoven. Almost clear golden ale, foamy white head. Nicely fruity hoppy nose, citrus, grapefruit. Grainy malts, clean hop profile. Medium body and carbonation.
330ml bottle. 5.3% version. Pours very cloudy yellowy light brown. Yeast and mango sweet aroma. Taste of yeast spice, light fruit, sweet and sour, moderate bitterness. Mod carb, quite fine. Refreshing and delicious.
Keg, Salt Horse. Pours very hazy cloudy apple juice like. Big dank aroma with some grape juice. Modest carbonation. Taste is hop forward bitterness with citrus but a grape juice sweetness in the back. Good balance. Nice.
Bottle from Brewdog online. Nice and pale with a haze. Aroma is citrus and grassy pine. Taste, very resinous pine. A weaker version of the IPA Mosaic, Nelson Sauvin, Simcoe.
On tap at the Dynamo. Yellow and hazy. Nice white lacing. Subtly aromatic. Moderataly bitter. Medium light body. Nice but the Nelson Sauvin really doesn't stands out.
Leggerra pale ale con luppolo Australiano. Poca schiuma dissoltasi quasi immediatamente. Ottimo odore di malto. Poco amara al primo impatto, diventa più persistente nel retrogusto.

Aroma: white fruits, citrus, cereal

Bottle. Hazy orange beer with small, frothy, white head. Aroma of passionfruit, peach, grape, citrus, resin, slightly earthy, with notes of sulphur (matches).

14/20 fresh pale ale. still has that piney pale ale taste that i’m not mad of but also really fresh hops.
Bottle toted across the pond thanks to Leighton. Pours a fairly clear orange gold, barely off white head. Aroma is earth, cat piss, caramel, light pine, citrus rind. Flavor is bread, dry dough, faint earth, cracker, pine, citrus bitters, skunked pee, melon rind. Medium bodied lovely pale ale
Draught @ Van Moll. Slightly unclear yellow color, average sized white head. Smell and taste lightly malts, decently hoppy, medium bitter. Hop bitter finish. Decent.
Draft at Uiltje bar. Aroma of white grape and nettle. Fruity taste of soft white grape, nettle, malt and some grain. Nelson sauvin works well, but the beer could use more crispyness.

Bottle. Crisp, sharp lime notes, gooseberry, subtle passion fruit. Soft mouthfeel, crisp, amazing balance. So it is actually possible to make a pale ale exclusively with Nelson Sauvin without any notes reminiscent of diesel/sulphur? Hear, hear.
