The Ekstra Castle Ale comes to the U.S. at 5.4% abv. From the 500ml (16.9 fl oz) green bottle pours a pale straw colored liquid with a bare white head atop a moderate stream of bubbles. The flavor stands as a solid proponent of pale malt, with a slightly sweet character. Supporting the malt is a mellow but crisp hop bitterness. Overall, a very clean lager that's a great summer beer.
