Apperance: The beer is clear amber with an off-white high, slowly settling head. a bit uneven, but leaving good lacing. (4.5) Aroma: The smell is fruity, pears, apricot, citric, grape-fruit and bitter oranges, floral, pine, hay, grass. Some bread and toffee tones. A lot for being a pale ale. (4.5) Taste: Initially sweet brown bread, then sour fruity and citric notes, a spicy bitterness enters quickly and dominates in a long aftertaste. (4) Palate: Medium high carbonation, small lively bubbles, a fresh texture, not a big body but a nice dry finish. (4) Overall: Well done and well balanced. Lots of aromas (and hops) in this one. Nice. (4.5)
