3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottled. Pours out in a hazy golden colour with a small white head. Crisp and dry aroma of flowers, lemon-zest and grass with notes of lychee. Medium to light-bodied with notes of peaches and straw with a crisp medium-bitter finish of grass and lemon-zes

12oz bottle into my Orval glass...Dark honey gold with a light tan head, two fingers of head, good retention ok lacing...Really nice aroma, light caramel, grass hops, light metallic hop...Taste is not as successful, not impressive really, light bitter, chalky, metallic hops aftertaste, misses the grass, just blah overall.

Bottle from The Bottle Shop Canterbury. Hazy orange golden beer with thick lasting beige head. Some yeast character on aroma. Some tangerine, tart orange hop aroma. More yeasty on aroma than I expected. OK in mouth with some malt that has a toasty nature to them. It’s fine. An ok APA. I always rate APAs on whether I could see me drinking several pints of it or not. The finishing hop is pretty decent. Yes it’s a decent enough beer. Yes, if I had a pitcher of it, I wouldn’t have a problem finishing it mainly because of the hop finish and lasting bittterness on the tongue which is good. Not my favourite aroma, but the rest does pretty well.

I loved it! It was a perfect balance. Could have this medium bodied slightly hoppy brew any day of the week.

This stuff is pretty average for me. A honey yellow colored brew. Sweet malty aromas. Flavor is middle of the road with much light honey sweetness and fruity hop presence. Nothing too amazing here at all.

On tap. It pours a light, clear gold. You couldn’t tell it was dry-hopped as the smell was rather tame. The taste was better, but I am still expecting more.

UPDATED: JUL 5, 2011 A pretty good pale ale. Pours an orange tint with a nice head. Nose of hops and citrus. Taste has a refresing light bitter bite. Very drinkable and I will have more.

0.355 l bottle at Pikkulintu, Helsinki. Deep golden color. Sweetish aroma with green apple. More green apple in the flavor with crisp minerally bitterness and some lemon. Not in good condition, hope to rerate this.
