Can. Amber colour, mediumsized white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is pine, hay, some floral and mild nectary tones. Flavour is pine, hay, grass, some nectary tones with some biscuity malts.
American style pale ale by Magic Rock in collaboration with Kirin apparently; from tap at Bar Beenhouwer. Membrane-lacing, medium thick and stable, closed, off-white head on a hazy pale orange beer with amberish hue. Aroma of dried orange peel, toasted peanuts, bread crumbs, wormwood leaves, black radish peel, yellow grapefruit, dust. Crisp and dryish onset, apricot and grapefruit aspects, sharpish minerally carbonation, dry rusk- and cracker-like maltiness, bit grainy, peanutty edge; long, drying and spicy hop bitter finish, quite rooty and leafy, quinine-like with a citrus peel aspect but relatively low in hop aromatics (for the intended style); light earthy and spicy aspects linger. Dry, earthy, almost saison-ish and 'noble' hoppy, more an old school EPA than a modern APA, in fact - which I have nothing against.
Imported from my RateBeer account as Magic Rock / Bagby Californishire (by Magic Rock Brewing (Lion Co. - Kirin Holdings)):

Clear light orange beer, small creamy white head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: pretty oxidized, malty, grains, some marzipan. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: oxidized, pretty bitter, metallic touch, malty, dry and decent. Aftertaste: bit fruity, oxidized, malty, hoppy, somewhat fruity, ok.
Tap at TCBW. Pours golden. Aroma and flavor are sweet and bitter, hoppy, grassy, citrus. Overall: good enough.
Kobberfarget. Filmskum. Lett plommearoma. Smaken syrlig frukt med malt i bakgrunnen. Tørr bitter ettersmak.
Can 440ml (Beer Merchants, BB 09/2019) Amber colour, medium-sized white head and small lace. Aroma is odd, somewhat rustic, old pine and straw. Light-bodied. Quite watery. Flavour is similar to nose: rustic old pine and straw, short finish. I expected West Coast IPA but this is more like English Bitter. After understanding it, it opens somewhat this beer's meaning.
04-05-19 // taster at CRAFT Frankfurt 2019. Piney and bitter West Coast style Pale Ale. Good.
