Sample on tap at What’s Brewing BF, Stavanger. A run of the mill pale ale (which is not necessarily a bad thing, as I love pale ales), appeared more American than English to me. Very drinkable, but not particularly exciting.

On tap at Fermentoren, Aarhus. For once I pass on writing own comments, and choose simply to quote the brewery’s tasting notes, which seemed quite accurate to me: "The Thornbridge Sequoia American Amber Ale has beautiful citrus and pine notes that come from our generous additions of Amarillo, Centennial and Chinook hops. It is smooth and velvety in the mouth with the toasted malts giving it a medium body with hints of roasted hazelnut, toffee and caramel malt flavours. Sequoia, a beautiful beer for all occasions!"
