UPDATED: SEP 1, 2010 bottle was a gift from WA. not a lot on the nose, head died very quickly. flavours of stonefruits and a dominant sweet malt.

Sweet malt hop aroma. Clear yellow colour with big frothy head and good lacing. Sweet fruit malt hop flavour with strong stone fruit. Fizzy palate.

Special promotion batch at the Beer Store Morley.
From the bottle into a mug at just on cold. Had to really rouse it to produce some life off the pour ending in a ’Real ale’ looking still beer in the glass. Light, floating island of froth atop a bright, medium amber body that had only a few wisps of visible, fine carbonation. Subtle grapefruit and pine nose, a little trailing pineapple perhaps. Almost still in the mouth bar a feint prickle upfront. Level peaking woodiness and pale nut notes balance some supple, juicy grapefruit and pineapple flavours and finish in back with a sharp, vinous bitterness before a rather dry, vinous and slightly fruity swallow with good length. Very smooth and comfortable mouthfeel, not too heavy at all and highly sessionable. This was a good way to kick off tasting these beers. Very nice, very pleasant session ale. (0421, 33cL)
