Lucky Jack

Brewery: Lervig Aktiebryggeri
Supplier: Beer52

This is an American style pale ale that is brewed by a large Norwegian brewery (that also brews some of Evil Twins stuff). This pale ale is unfiltered and unpasteurised, and it is brewed with three different American hops - Amarillo, Chinook and Citra. I served this chilled.
Appearance: An orangy-straw colour, opaque, and with a thin and fading off-white head.
Aroma: A faint hint of hop resin with some citrus notes. 
Flavour: The front is absent of flavour. Sweet and with some strong notes of lemon iced tea and hop resin in the back. 
Body: There is a substantial body, but it is still refreshing. It looks like the carbonation is too much, but it's a nice level. 
Aftertaste: The aftertaste is just the fading continuation of the back flavours. 

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 7, close to a 6, but a nice refreshing ale with some nice iced tea notes.

Price Range: Another from the box that had 8 for £14 - so £1.75 for a 330ml can; a good price for a nice sessionable drink, plus it's in a can.

Food Pairings: A nice salty bagel with cream cheese, maybe some heavy vegetable on top.
