3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pale golden beer with a tight white head. The nose is lovely. Lightly fruity with a kiss of light citrusy hoppiness. There is a nice spiciness as well as a bit of lemon and citrus. Soft crackery malt and a touch of toast. It’s a nice combination of US and UK ingredients, highlighting the best of both. Highly quaffable with a lovely lingering fresh hoppiness. A nice bitterness on the finish and even a touch of resin. Really tasty stuff.

Euston Tap. Light haze on this gold beer. Tidy white head. Palate is smooth and dry with a little fine carbonation. Light crisp malts supports reasonable hop. A little repressed orange - grapefruit citrus. Minerals. Finishes dry. Nicely balanced.

Cask handpull, The Salmon, Leicester, 23/05/12. Orange-gold heaped with a fat stable head. Muted, orange-hinting aroma. Wow; pretty intense, deeply stewed, earthy hop character with woodland notes I’m struggling to describe..hawthorn? Softening creaminess, some chalk and Soothers not detracting from the pungently bitter finish. G+T linger. Hopped-up, slightly wonderful, strangely English stuff considering the name.

[cask at the Caley Sample Room, Edinburgh] Light copper coloured beer, thick puffy white head. Sweet, thick passion fruit aroma. Good grassy hop bitterness on the taste initially – leading into more floral, mango flavours. Nice bitter finish on the end. Slips from one taste to the other and back without you really noticing, it has a fantastic balance. Really very nice, even viewed without my pro-Dark Star bias [12042012]

Bright golden ale with a rich creamy head. The aroma is of honey and melons. Taste is smooth and balanced with a crisp dry grapefruit finish. A cracking beer you could drink anytime.

2 pint takeaway from the brewery. Pours golden, lovely fresh hoppy aroma, mandarin, citrus pith. Follows through to the palate, more fresh citrus juice, nice balanced malty backbone with a long drying bitter pithy finish. A while since I drunk APA but I think this is a stunning sessioner
